Melbourne's original.
Still independent.

We opened our doors in 2008 — before coworking was a category — because we believed that the best work happens when people feel like they belong somewhere.

Seventeen years on, we're still here. Still community-led. Still in the same heritage building with the same timber floors, exposed brick, and red pipes on the ceiling.

We're big enough to support you, yet small enough to care.

Everything you need to know

Quick answers to the questions we hear most. Still not sure? Drop us a line — we're pretty easy to talk to.

Where exactly is Inspire9? +

Level 1, 41–43 Stewart Street, Richmond VIC 3121 — directly opposite Richmond Station. It's one of Melbourne's best-connected locations, with the city loop just 8 minutes away by train.

Can I book a meeting room without a membership? +

Yes — all our meeting rooms are available to external bookings by the hour. Rooms seat 4 to 30 people and are fully equipped with AV, video conferencing, and whiteboards. No membership needed.

What's included in a virtual office plan? +

A real Richmond business address, mail collection and forwarding, and optional phone answering — from $79/month. You can also add meeting room credits for those times you need to come in and meet a client.

Are there lock-in contracts? +

No lock-in contracts for hot desks or virtual office plans. Private offices are on rolling monthly terms. We'd rather earn your stay than trap you in one.

How long has Inspire9 been running? +

Since 2008 — making us one of Australia's original coworking spaces. We're still independently run from the same Richmond location, same building, same community values.

Can I come in for a look before I commit? +

Absolutely — and we encourage it. Book a free tour online or just show up during business hours and ask for a walk-around. We want you to feel at home before you sign anything.
