If you run your company from home, a coworking desk or the road, a business address for rent is the piece that makes it look established: a real street address you can put on your website, your invoices and your ASIC records. The search that leads here is usually a choice between a PO box and a proper commercial address — and for a company, those two are not interchangeable.
A PO box is a mail slot. A street address is where documents can be served, where a reception can sign for a courier, and where a company can legally be registered. This guide explains what a business address for rent actually buys you over a mailbox, then lists ten virtual office addresses across Australia you can set up on Wezoo. For the full picture on the product, see our complete guide to virtual offices.

What does a business address for rent cost in Australia?
There is no single sticker price. A business address for rent is quoted per business and billed monthly, and the figure moves with the address and the term you commit to. Across the Australian market, entry-level business-address and virtual office plans are commonly advertised from around $30 to $100 or more a month, with prestige CBD addresses at the top of that range. On Wezoo, these addresses are listed as price on request, so you get a quote for the exact location you want rather than a headline rate. Most plans run month to month with no lock-in, which is the point — you are renting a presence, not signing a lease.
Business address for rent vs a PO box: what a street address gives you
This is the decision most people are really making, so it is worth being precise. A PO box is fine for receiving letters. It cannot do the four things below — a street address can.
It can be your registered office. Under the Corporations Act 2001, every Australian company must have a registered office, and ASIC requires that address to be a physical street address — “It cannot be a PO Box.” The same rule applies to your principal place of business. A PO box can only be listed as a contact address, never the registered office. If you use an address you do not occupy, ASIC also requires the occupier’s written consent, which a virtual office provides. For the detail here, read what ASIC requires of a registered business address.
Banks and clients take it seriously. A recognised commercial address on your invoices and website reads as a real business, and it keeps your home address off public records. business.gov.au notes that ASIC publishes your registered office on the public company register — better that be a city tower than your kitchen table.
Someone signs for your couriers. A staffed reception receives parcels and registered post and lets you know, so deliveries do not bounce or sit on a doorstep. A mailbox cannot accept a signed-for courier.
Be realistic about Google. One thing a mail-only address will not do is earn you a Google Business Profile. Google’s guidelines for representing your business require a location you actually staff and where you meet customers during opening hours; a virtual address used only for mail is not eligible, and neither is a PO box. If you need a map pin, you need a space you work from — which is where a day office or private office comes in.
When should you choose a virtual office over a private office?
Choose a virtual office when what you need is the address, not the room. If you work from home or remotely and simply want a professional presence, registration and mail handling, a business address for rent covers it for a fraction of the cost of desks you would rarely use. Choose a private office when your team needs somewhere to actually sit each day. Many businesses start virtual and add space later — you can also compare renting a virtual office and browse virtual office addresses across Australia before you decide.

How to choose a business address, and how far ahead to set it up
- Match the postcode to your market. A Sydney or Melbourne CBD address signals scale; a capital closer to your customers can matter more than prestige.
- Check what the plan includes. Confirm mail handling, forwarding or scanning, courier acceptance and whether meeting-room access is bundled or extra.
- Confirm registered-office use. If you will file the address with ASIC, make sure the operator consents to it being your registered office and provides that consent in writing.
- Allow a day or two to activate. Set-up is quick once your ID is verified. If you are moving your ASIC registered office, remember you must notify ASIC within 28 days of the change.
Best Australian cities and neighbourhoods for a business address
Sydney and Melbourne carry the most weight: Martin Place and George Street in Sydney, and the Lonsdale Street legal precinct in Melbourne, are addresses clients recognise instantly. In Brisbane, Eagle Street is the financial core; in Perth, St Georges Terrace is the equivalent. Adelaide’s Grenfell Street, Canberra’s CBD near the federal departments, and the Gold Coast’s Cavill Avenue each anchor a business in its city. For a national footprint, you can hold addresses in more than one — Wezoo lists 85 across the country.
Business Address for Rent — FAQ
Can I use a business address for rent as my company’s registered office?
Yes. A virtual office is a physical street address, which is what ASIC requires for a registered office and principal place of business. You must have the occupier’s written consent, which the operator supplies. A PO box does not qualify.
Is a business address for rent the same as a PO box?
No. A PO box is a mailbox and can only be listed with ASIC as a contact address. A street address can be your registered office, accept signed-for couriers and be staffed during business hours — a PO box cannot.
How much does a business address for rent cost in Australia?
It is quoted per business and billed monthly. Across the market, plans are commonly advertised from around $30 to $100 or more a month depending on the address and term. Wezoo lists these addresses as price on request, so you get a quote for the exact location.
Can I get a Google Business Profile with a virtual office address?
Not with a mail-only address. Google requires a location you staff and where you meet customers during opening hours, so a virtual address used purely for mail is not eligible — and neither is a PO box.
How quickly can I set up a business address?
Usually within a day or two once your identity is verified. If you are changing the registered office already on the ASIC record, you must notify ASIC within 28 days of the change.
Can I use one business address across several companies or cities?
You can hold addresses in more than one city — Wezoo lists 85 across Australia — but each company has a single nominated registered office. Some operators allow more than one business name at an address; check before you sign up.
