Update: Due to COVID-19, the State Library is currently closed – including StartSpace.
Applications for membership are still open, and we look forward to welcoming you to the space in due course.
We’re sad to close our doors but feel this is the best preventative measure to support the health and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers, as well as the broader community.
Choose from StartSpace or StartSpace Loft membership
As a StartSpace member, you’ll get:
StartSpace only hosts very small teams and aims for member diversity across age ranges, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, genders and educational backgrounds.
Not sure if your business counts as early stage? We use the definitions in City of Melbourne’s Startup Action Plan (PDF – page 41) and LaunchVic’s Startup Framework (PDF – page 14).
If you’re a little further along in your business journey, a StartSpace Loft membership might be right for you.
StartSpace Loft membership is $350 +GST per month and gives you:
exclusive access to the StartSpace Loft coworking area that seats up to 48 members and is fitted out with desks, wi-fi, whiteboards and workshop space
day lockers to secure your belongings
access to two soundproof Skype booths for private calls and teleconferencing
access to printing and scanning facilities
access to a kitchenette equipped with fridge, microwave, dishwasher, crockery and coffee machine
up to 83 hours of access per week (extended early access on weekdays)
access to StartSpace programming, which includes training, workshops, mentoring, networking and community events
access to the StartSpace Loft boardroom, set up with a screen and teleconferencing facilities
the opportunity to get to know other StartSpace Loft members and StartSpace Partners from the business and corporate community.
a seat at all times: because membership is capped at 48 residents, there will always be space available for StartSpace Loft members
Both types of membership are for an initial six months, with quarterly check-ins to evaluate your progress.
We’ll ask you for some personal information and your contact details as well as some general information about your proposed business.
We’ll get back to you shortly. If your application is accepted, we’ll schedule an induction session at a time that suits you.
