The median asking price for a private office desk in Sydney is A$720 per month in November 2026. Half of the 50 priced office listings SquareFoot tracks sit between A$500 and A$1,000; the cheapest tenth asks under A$409 and the top tenth over A$1,600. That median is up 4% on 2026-10. Figures are the operators’ own asking rates, per desk per month, all-inclusive, across 114 centres and 12 operators; USD equivalents use the day’s mid-market rate (median US$503).

An asking rate in Sydney covers the furnished room, internet, reception, cleaning, utilities and shared meeting space; most operators quote per desk and per month and sign for one to twelve months, rolling after. Three things move the number: the district, the size of the office (larger teams pay less per desk), and the operator’s incentives on term, which the index cannot see. Private offices quoted only on inquiry are counted as centres but carry no price here; as quotes arrive they enter the index as quoted observations and are reported separately from published asking rates.
Prices are collected from operator pages that permit automated reading, from availability mailings operators send SquareFoot, and from quotes received on inquiries; converted to per desk per month; checked against a plausibility band; and published only when a city has at least 50 listed spaces, 25 priced, from two or more sources. The full method is on the SquareFoot Flex Index methodology page. The numbers in this post are available as open data in the Sydney JSON feed (CC BY 4.0).
