About FWA
An industry body, run by the industry
FWA was formed in 2021 by operators who recognised the sector needed a national voice. Today we're a member-led association of 198+ member operators and 20+ industry partners — governed by a nine-person volunteer board of working operators and industry leaders.

Our mission
Our mission
FWA exists to grow Australia's flexible workspace sector — by representing operators to government, producing the research that informs the industry, and connecting members through events, programs and peer networks. We make the case for flexible workspace at every level: local councils weighing zoning decisions, state agencies funding regional hubs, and federal policymakers shaping the future of work.
Our values
What drives us
Members compete in the market and collaborate inside FWA. The sector grows faster when operators share what's working — and what isn't.
Not a contact list. Our events, roundtables and member channels create the relationships that help operators solve problems and spot opportunities first.
From solo operators in regional towns to ASX-listed national chains, we build deliberate ways for members to contribute, lead and shape FWA's direction.
Coworking, serviced offices, managed offices, hybrid hubs. CBD towers, suburban hubs, regional main streets. FWA represents the full breadth of how Australians work.
What we do
Advocacy, research and connection
FWA represents the sector to government on policy and planning. We produce the annual Flex Futures Industry Report. And we run the events, roundtables and conference that connect Australia's flexible workspace community. The work is straightforward — it's just work that no single operator can do alone.
The Future Is Flex
A maturing sector, scaling fast
Flexible workspace has moved from niche to mainstream. The Flex Futures Industry Report tracks the sector's growth across occupancy, square metres, revenue models and new entrants — and the trajectory is consistent: more buildings, more cities, more demand than ever.
Member network
Stronger together
Roundtables, webinars, working groups and the national conference give members a place to compare notes, solve problems and find the people who've already done what they're trying to do.
FWA members operate in every capital city and across regional Australia. From single-site independents to ASX-listed national operators, the network reflects the actual shape of the sector.
Leadership
Board of Directors
Nine active operators and industry leaders, elected by the membership. The board sets FWA's direction on a voluntary basis.
