What does virtual office hire cost in Australia?
There is no single sticker price for virtual office hire, and any guide that quotes one is guessing. On Wezoo, each address is priced on request because packages differ: a mail-only plan costs far less than one that bundles a local phone number, call answering and hours in a meeting room. What you pay tracks the postcode and the services, not a flat national rate.
Because it is a hire and not a lease, you are paying for access and an address rather than square metres. Request a quote for the buildings that fit your city, compare what each includes, and pick the lightest plan that still meets your needs. Our guide to what a virtual office includes breaks the packages down before you ask for numbers.
When should you choose virtual office hire over a private office?
Choose virtual office hire when you need the address and the admin, not the room. It is the right call while you are trialling a market, running a distributed team, or setting up a company that needs a registered office before it needs desks. A private office earns its keep once people are in the same place most days; until then, a hired address does the job for a fraction of the commitment.
There is a legal layer worth getting right. Under Australian law a company must have a registered office, and it does not have to be where you trade — it can be a serviced address, provided the occupier of the premises has given written consent to use it, as ASIC sets out. You will also need an Australian Business Number, and the ATO expects you to update your details within 28 days if the address changes. A good provider handles the consent paperwork as part of the hire.

How to choose a virtual office — and how far in advance to book
Work through it in four steps.
- Pick the postcode your customers respect. A Martin Place or Collins Street address reads differently from a suburban one — choose the city that matches who you sell to.
- Decide the package. Mail forwarding only, or mail plus a phone line and meeting-room hours? Pay for what you will use.
- Check what is included. Compare inclusions across our virtual office solutions guide before you commit.
- Request a quote and sort the consent. Confirm the occupier consent you need to use the address as a registered office, then request it on Wezoo.
Lead time is short. Because you are hiring an address rather than fitting out a floor, most virtual offices can be live within a few days of your request. Terms are usually month to month, so you can stop when a project ends; if you want a longer commitment, our guide to renting a virtual office covers the terms to ask about.

Virtual office hire — FAQ
What is virtual office hire?
Virtual office hire gives your business a real, staffed address for mail and registration, plus access to meeting rooms when you need them, without leasing a permanent desk. You hire the address and services on a flexible basis rather than signing a lease.
How much does virtual office hire cost in Australia?
Prices are quoted on request because packages vary from mail-only to mail plus phone and room hours. Cost tracks the city and the services you choose, so request a quote for the specific address you want.
Can I use a hired virtual office as my company’s registered office?
Often yes. A registered office does not have to be where you trade, but ASIC requires the written consent of the premises’ occupier to use the address. A reputable provider arranges that consent as part of the hire.
How quickly can I set up a virtual office?
Usually within a few days of your request. Because you are hiring an address and services rather than fitting out space, there is no build-out to wait on.
Can I hire a virtual office month to month?
Most virtual offices are offered on flexible, month-to-month terms, which is the point of hiring rather than leasing. You can end the arrangement when a project or trial wraps up.
Which Australian cities have the most virtual offices on Wezoo?
Sydney leads with 29 addresses, then Melbourne with 19, Perth with 9, Adelaide with 8 and Brisbane with 6, with Canberra, Darwin and the Gold Coast adding more.
A note on business addresses (updated September 2026): Using a virtual office as your company’s registered office or business address carries obligations under Australian law. A registered office must be a physical address in Australia where documents can be served, and if your company does not occupy the premises you must hold the occupier’s written consent. This article is general information, not legal or tax advice — confirm your obligations with ASIC, the ATO or a qualified adviser before you register an address.
Hire the address, skip the lease
A virtual office hire buys you presence and paperwork without the cost of a floor you will not fill. Pick the city your customers respect, hire the address month to month, and put the room budget where it earns more. When you are ready, request the building you want on Wezoo.
