When 'Better Together' comes together
The beauty of a Coworking Membership is that you can work our different centres and potentially meet new members that you can collaborate with, pass referrals to, gain new business from, or just pick their brains and learn something new from them.
At Waterman, we truly believe that we’re ‘Better Together’ and there’s no better way to fostering that than with a Waterman Coworking Membership.
Change your scenery, whenever you want

Whether you’re looking to have focused work, creative work or want to be closer to shops and eateries, Waterman has a centre for it all.
The beauty of your Coworking Membership is that you have access to all of our centres, and depending on the Membership access level you sign up for, you can even have 24/7 access so you can come on a weekend to get those tasks completed that you didn’t get around to during the week.

If you’re not sure whether taking a membership in a coworking space is the right fit for you and your team read on to find out some of the benefits of joining a coworking space and find answers to some of the common misconceptions about working from a coworking or flexible workspace. Then if you’re still unsure, feel free to reach out to our team of workspace specialists or take a look through our workspace products.
Why choose Coworking?
Coworking office spaces are ideal places for collaboration between individuals and industries with potential for the creation of great things together instead of in isolation.
Coworking spaces offer mentoring opportunities from industry veterans or support from business owners facing the same challenges and successes Members can receive encouragement from positive people, and even buyers when you launch your product or service. Coworking office spaces are the most fertile ground an idea could possibly have!
In today’s day and age, businesses need to remain flexible in the face of economic development and change.
Collaborative and coworking workspaces allow for small businesses to specialise in their area of strength while outsourcing their weaknesses to other small businesses in their vicinity. This way, multiple players win at the same time.
It is important to assess the needs of your business to see whether a coworking space in melbourne is the right home for your business.
Is a Coworking right for me?
In short: Yes!
Coworking is for anybody.
A common misconception of coworking spaces is that they are always bustling, but, as long as the space you’re a member of contains quiet communal areas and private offices, you can still work the way you like.
Furthermore, traditional commercial office spaces guarantee privacy but also isolation, with no added benefit of being able to step outside and network at your own leisure. Coworking offers the best of both worlds for any personality type.
In addition, starting up a small business comes with high costs and many fixed overheads which can be reduced by basing your business or team in a coworking centre.
If you’re looking for office space as well, setting up phone and internet, furnishing, fitting out and beautifying then maintaining the office can rack up a pretty penny.
Coworking spaces take care of some costs by providing fully serviced spaces where every amenity a small business needs are already set up, leaving less work and less cost to you!
Coworking spaces at Waterman
We pride ourselves on our professionally and aesthetically designed spaces, but we’d be nothing without the community that makes Waterman the place to be.
Our designated Community Managers have specific jobs to get to know you and plan events to help bring all small business owners together. We help to spark relationships for you and begin the cross-pollination process that you can then continue to improve your business journey.
We couldn’t say we love small business if we were in the real estate game. We know we love small business because we’re in this to foster irreplaceable communities.
So, why are coworking spaces so revolutionary?
Because we’re better together.
