Melbourne Office

Bringing Ipsum Closer to You

We’re excited to announce the opening of our Melbourne office—offering greater flexibility, more face-to-face opportunities, and the same strategic advice our clients know and trust.

Our new space in Fitzroy is designed to support our growing team and make it easier for Melbourne-based clients to meet in person without the travel. Whether you’re already part of the Ipsum community or considering partnering with us, we’re here when—and where—you need us..

► Why Melbourne?

This expansion has been in the works for a while, and now’s the right time. With one of our Directors now living in Melbourne and demand steadily growing, we’ve secured a space in a stunning, fully equipped professional hub that gives our team and clients more choice and flexibility.

Opening a Melbourne location means:

  • More opportunities for in-person meetings without needing to travel to Bendigo

  • Access to premium meeting rooms for individuals or groups

  • A stronger recruitment pipeline as our team grows

  • Continued collaboration between Bendigo and Melbourne—unified under one team, one system, and one mission

► What’s Changing for Existing Clients?

Nothing—unless you’d like it to.

Our Bendigo office remains our primary headquarters, and the team you work with isn’t changing. You’ll still contact us via the same phone number and email, and Bendigo clients will continue to receive the same high-quality service they always have.

The Melbourne office simply gives you another option. If you’re in the city and would prefer to meet in Fitzroy, let us know and we’ll organise it.

► Who Is the Melbourne Office For?

This space is designed to support:

  • Clients located in Melbourne and surrounding areas

  • Existing clients who’d prefer to meet in the city

  • Team members who live locally or want added flexibility in how and where they work

Our Melbourne office isn’t industry-specific. If you’re aligned with how we work and what we value, we’re happy to welcome you here.

► What You Can Expect

  • Beautifully fitted office with modern meeting rooms, ergonomic workspaces, and breakout areas

  • Seamless collaboration between our Bendigo and Melbourne teams

  • Consistent service, strategic advice, and a face-to-face option when you need it
