List of Perth Co-working Spaces

List of Perth Co-working Spaces

Co-working spaces have been popping up all over the Perth CBD and metropolitan areas over the past few years…

Editor’s note: First published in August 2016, and most recently revised in October 2018.

From the Perth CBD to Fremantle, Victoria Park to North Beach, there are a number of options available for those looking for permanent, part time or daily use access to different co-working venues (Looking for rural locations? See our article, Five Co-working Spaces out of the City).

Where possible, we’ve tried to include all co-working spaces that allow membership, that aren’t just a commercial tenant offering 1-2 hot desks in their office.

In alphabetical order, the Perth co-working spaces are…


Bloom

Full name: Bloom at St Cats; formerly ‘Bloom Labs’. Based in St Catherines College at the University of Western Australia, Bloom is a community for “young people to create amazing things”. They provide workshops, co-working space, mentoring and more to accelerate the growth of high-potential young entrepreneurs. You don’t need to be a UWA student. Any student will do!
