Melbourne has the most co-working spaces in Australia, so what's all the fuss about?

And while there are also plenty of desks, the workers who occupy them change by the month.

Co-working spaces have seen a meteoric rise in popularity over the past decade and figures suggest Melbourne has embraced the trend more than any other Australian city.

According to research by LaunchVic, the State Government's start-up agency, co-working spaces in Melbourne have grown by 960 per cent over the past three years, and the city is host to almost half of Australia's co-work spaces.

Tuong Tran, the co-founder of a customer experience consultancy, said co-working spaces made good financial sense.

"It's very cost-prohibitive to get your own space," he said.

"It's also what you make of it. There's a little bit there that's beholden to you to take advantage of the expertise that's in the building.

"We've been able to leverage the other people's networks just by being in the space."
