We are Workplace Cowork
We are Workplace Cowork, though our members call us “The Coworking Space for Grownups” because we’re focused on you getting your work done, and not on play.
Our members choose Workplace for all sorts of reasons.
Some are escaping the isolation of working at home to work alongside like-minded small business people in a considerate and friendly Workplace.
Some are fleeing the procrastinations of working at home to work in an uncluttered, distraction-free, dedicated Workplace – no ping pong, no beanbags, no beer kegs.
Some love how our relaxed environment reflects their business’s personality – proud to welcome clients in a professional Workplace.
And some are locals or out-of-towners who need a decent meeting room or desk for a day – a ready Workplace.
Whatever brings them here, we love working to meet their needs so that they can enjoy the satisfaction of getting stuff done in a healthy and highly productive, dedicated Workplace.
Let our customers tell you what they think of our Workplace in our members’ testimonials, or check out which of our Workplaces is right for you at the links below.

our people








workplace cowork
I am a freelance producer and was looking for a space from which to produce a TV Commercial for a Sydney production company operating remotely in Melbourne. I looked at many spaces and Jam Jar was the right fit for us as it was so versatile. They were able to accommodate our production as it started out as a single desk, ballooned into accommodating several people and a full wardrobe check, and back down to a single desk again. It was great to learn about the other businesses operating out of there, share a chat in the kitchen, and have people to go to when you found you needed a stapler! A fantastic location and friendly vibe, I highly recommend and will be back at Jam Jar at the first opportunity.
