What a private office in Melbourne costs.
A private office is priced per office, per month, on the term you choose. On a 12 month term, Melbourne offices start from:

|---|---|---|
| 385 Bourke Street | $1,105 a month | 1 to 10 people |
| 456 Lonsdale Street | $1,445 a month | 1 to 10 people |
Per office, per month, on a 12 month term, excluding GST. Month to month, 6, 12 and 24 month terms are available and longer terms cost less per month. Your fee covers the office, reception greeting your clients, internet, cleaning, utilities, daily mail to your desk, 24/7 access and the Clarence CPD Series. Prices current as at September 2026.

A short walk to the courts
456 Lonsdale Street sits in the William Street legal precinct, so a listing at the Supreme, County or Federal Court is a walk rather than a cab. 385 Bourke Street is a few blocks east, in the middle of the CBD.
Reception that greets your clients
A staffed reception on your floor welcomes your clients, takes your mail to your desk each day and can answer your phone in your firm’s name. You walk into a working office on day one.
Legal support in the building
Clarence Legal Services works within the Clarence network, with paralegals for conveyancing, probate and back-office work. You use them by the matter and bill the time to your client.
Six addresses, one membership
Your Melbourne office comes with five days a month in a private office at any other Clarence building, so a Sydney or Brisbane matter has a base too.
“I started as a virtual office, coming in once or twice a week. Then I started getting more and more clients and needing more and more meeting rooms. So I upgraded. I was with Clarence about nine months before I moved into an office.”

That split is deliberate. You pay one predictable fee for the workspace, and support scales by the matter rather than by headcount.
Start smaller and move up when the practice needs it.
A Day Office is a secure private office for the day, from $200 per person. Coworking is $299 a month for nine days at any location. A virtual membership gives you the Melbourne CBD address and mail handling from $125 a month, with meeting rooms when a client is coming in. Members move into a private office as the practice grows.
