Australians working remotely

An Australian business address while you work from anywhere

Running your Australian business from overseas? Keep a real street address back home for your ABN, your company and your mail, and see every letter on your phone the day it arrives.

An address and mail service. No desk or room is included.

Who it’s for

  • Freelancers and contractors working remotely for a few months or a few years.
  • Sole traders on the road who don’t want business mail piling up at a parent’s house.
  • Company owners on an overseas posting who still run an Australian Pty Ltd.
  • Anyone who’s let their home out and needs an address that won’t change.

How it works from overseas

  1. Sign up online and do the ID check on your phone with your Australian passport or driver licence. It works from anywhere.
  2. Tell us where you actually work. An overseas operating address means a person reviews your application, usually within 2 business days. Your address is released once the checks pass.
  3. Every letter is photographed the day it arrives and lands in your dashboard. Ask for a scan, shred, or forward.
  4. Scans are same day for requests before 2pm Melbourne time on a business day.

We handle letters and documents only, not parcels. See how mail scanning works.

Plans

Which plan from overseas?

Business Address suits most people abroad: you see every envelope and get 10 scans a month. Pick Pro if you’ll want lots scanned or originals forwarded often. Nameplate is for meeting clients in Preston, so it’s not much use while you’re away.

Questions from Australians abroad

Can I sign up while I'm already overseas?

Yes. Sign-up is online and the ID check runs on your phone with an Australian passport or driver licence. Because your operating address is overseas, your application goes to a person for review rather than being approved automatically. That usually takes up to 2 business days.

I'm not Australian. Can I use this?

Not yet. At launch we only accept businesses run by people living in Australia, or Australians working overseas. If you're an overseas founder, contact us and we'll let you know when that changes.

Can you forward my mail overseas?

Yes, except to countries where sanctions or carrier restrictions apply. You pay Australia Post's international postage, plus $2 handling on Business Address (no handling fee on Pro). We send you a quote to approve first. Most people ask for a scan instead and never need the original.

What time do scan requests need to be in?

Requests made before 2pm Melbourne time on a business day are scanned the same day. Wherever you are, the scan appears in your dashboard and you get an alert.

Can my company use it as its registered office while I'm away?

Yes, once your ID checks pass. The address isn't the hard part: a Pty Ltd also needs at least one director who ordinarily lives in Australia. We don't provide directors, so sort that out before you leave.

Can I get parcels sent there?

No. We handle letters and documents only. Parcels are refused and go back to the sender.

Can you tell me whether I'm still a tax resident?

No. We don't give tax or legal advice. The ATO's residency guidance is the place to start, and an accountant can tell you how it applies to you.
