Co-working is quickly gaining momentum as a popular way of working, often introducing exciting new collaboration opportunities and chances for valuable networking (see desktop’s June 2012 issue for an article about co-working). Below is a steadily growing list of co-working spaces around Australia.

If you have any spaces that you’d like to add, please email alison.copley@niche.com.au with the details. We want this list to be a great resource of co-working spaces around Australia.
