Hobart's coworking market is small by mainland capital standards, but it is more developed than most people expect. Coworking spaces here have grown by approximately 20 percent over the past three years [Servcorp, servcorp.com.au ], driven by a growing remote work community, an expanding startup scene, and an increasing number of people who have moved to Tasmania from Sydney and Melbourne and need somewhere to work that is not their kitchen table.
The median desk rate in Hobart is around $500 per person per month in central locations, the lowest of any Australian capital city [Flexible Workspace Australia, 2026 Industry Report]. If you are coming from a Sydney or Melbourne coworking space, the pricing here will feel noticeably different.
Here is what is currently available.
1. The Typewriter Factory
Address: 13-17 Castray Esplanade, Salamanca
Best for: Startups, creative workers, founders who want community
The Typewriter Factory is the most established coworking space in Hobart and the one most associated with the city's startup culture. It operates from a converted loft in the Salamanca precinct with waterfront views, and grew out of Startup Tasmania's early coworking community [Startup Tasmania, startuptasmania.com ]. The space hosts regular events, mentoring connections, and professional development programmes. For anyone building something in Tasmania and wanting to be around other people doing the same, this is the natural starting point.
2. Enterprize Tasmania
Address: Level 5, 24 Davey Street, Hobart CBD
Pricing: Day pass $55, hot desk from $275/month, dedicated desk from $374/month, private office from $550/month
Best for: Innovators, creatives, startups, anyone wanting an active community
Enterprize operates hubs in both Hobart and Launceston and is one of the few multi-site coworking operators in Tasmania. The Hobart space offers gigabit NBN, a kitchenette, printing facilities, and a regular programme of social and professional events. The membership community is active and the events calendar is genuine rather than decorative [Enterprize, enterprize.space]. At $55 for a day pass and $275 per month for a hot desk, the pricing is accessible.
3. WOTSO Hobart
Address: Ground Floor, 162 Macquarie Street, Hobart CBD
Pricing: Coworking desks from $300/month
Best for: Individuals and small teams wanting a reliable, no-frills workspace with national network access
WOTSO is a national operator with 42 hubs across Australia and New Zealand, built specifically around suburban and regional markets [Flexible Workspace Australia, 2026 Industry Report]. The Hobart space is month-to-month with no lock-in, high-speed wireless internet, 24/7 access, private phone booths, kitchen with complimentary refreshments, printing, and cleaning included. A WOTSO membership also gives you access to other WOTSO locations around Australia when you travel, which matters for Hobart-based workers who need a mainland desk occasionally [WOTSO, wotso.com ].
4. Servcorp Hobart
Address: Hobart CBD
Pricing: Hot desks from $191/month
Best for: Professionals wanting a corporate-grade environment
Servcorp provides hot desks, dedicated desks, and private offices in its Hobart CBD location. The space is positioned at the more formal and corporate end of the market. It suits professionals who want the feel of a traditional office environment rather than the creative community vibe of a space like The Typewriter Factory. Meeting rooms, reception services, and IT support are available as part of the Servcorp offering [Servcorp, servcorp.com.au ].
5. Parliament Coworking
Address: Hobart CBD and Moonah
Best for: Workers who want a Tasmanian-owned space with community values
Parliament Coworking is 100 percent Tasmanian-owned and operated and donates a share of monthly profits to three local community organisations each month [Parliament Coworking, parliamentcoworking.com ]. It operates from two locations in Hobart and the neighbouring suburb of Moonah. For remote workers who want a workspace that is genuinely part of the local community rather than a branch of a national chain, this is worth looking at.
6. Hobart Corporate Centre
Address: Level 3, 85 Macquarie Street, Hobart CBD
Pricing: Private offices from $1,000/month including GST
Best for: Established businesses wanting serviced office space and a CBD address
Hobart Corporate Centre is positioned at the serviced office end of the market, suited to professional firms and small teams that want a private enclosed space rather than an open-plan coworking environment. The building is 100 metres from the GPO and across from the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery [White Peak Digital, whitepeakdigital.com , 2026]. The price reflects the private office format and the managed services that come with it.
7. The Old Flour Mill
Address: Suite 30, 11 Morrison Street, Hobart
Best for: Creative workers who want character over convention
The Old Flour Mill offers an open-plan loft workspace in a converted waterfront building a short walk from Salamanca. The setting is genuinely distinctive: waterfront views, a historic building, a small community of creative and independent workers. For writers, designers, and independents who find conventional office spaces uninspiring, this is worth trying on a day pass first.
8. Regus Hobart
Address: Reserve Bank Building, Level 6, Hobart CBD
Best for: Professionals who travel nationally and want consistency with a familiar provider
Regus operates from the Reserve Bank Building in Hobart's CBD with day passes, dedicated desks, and private offices on flexible terms. For workers who use Regus in other cities and want the same provider when they are in Hobart, this delivers continuity of experience and building access [Regus, regus.com.au ].
9. Sandy Bay workspace options
Area: Sandy Bay
Best for: University of Tasmania community, researchers, postgraduates
Sandy Bay adjoins the University of Tasmania campus and has a cluster of cafes and informal workspace options that suit the academic and research community. It is less a formal coworking market and more a neighbourhood with a working culture. For anyone connected to UTAS who wants to work near campus without using a library, Sandy Bay is worth exploring.
10. Salamanca Place cafes
Area: Salamanca Place, Hobart waterfront
Best for: Occasional workers, travellers, anyone needing a half-day of laptop work
Hobart's cafe culture is strong and the Salamanca precinct in particular has a concentration of cafes that welcome laptop workers during off-peak hours. This is informal coworking at zero cost and works well for occasional use or for days when you want a change of setting without paying for a formal space.
Hobart at a glance
The median desk rate in Hobart sits around $500 per person per month in central locations [Flexible Workspace Australia, 2026 Industry Report], well below Sydney's CBD median of around $1,000. For remote workers who have relocated to Tasmania or are considering it, the combination of lower coworking costs, Australia's fastest internet [Cooee Tours, cooeetours.com.au , 2026], and a genuinely liveable city makes Hobart a more practical remote work base than its size might suggest.
