Melbourne Named World’s Best City For Digital Nomads

Melbourne has widespread high-speed internet, a rich supply of coworking spaces, and supportive visa pathways for remote professionals, even if it lacks a dedicated digital nomad visa.

Melbourne has been named the world’s top city for remote work in the Nestpick Work-From-Anywhere Index, which evaluated 75 cities based on digital infrastructure, cost of living, legal frameworks, and quality of life. 

The city earned the highest overall score, outperforming major global hubs such as Dubai, Sydney, and London.

What set Melbourne apart was its strong performance across multiple key areas. It scored especially high in safety, healthcare, cultural inclusivity, and gender equality. The city also benefits from widespread high-speed internet, a rich supply of coworking spaces, and supportive visa pathways for remote professionals, even if it lacks a dedicated digital nomad visa.

Melbourne’s infrastructure supports a modern remote work lifestyle. Though Australia’s broadband speeds still trail global leaders like Singapore and the UAE, ongoing upgrades and investment in the National Broadband Network have improved internet capacity in recent years. In terms of workspaces, Melbourne offers over 100 coworking venues, though prices tend to be above the global average due to higher real estate costs.

Maximize Flexible Space Revenue

Housing remains one of Melbourne’s biggest challenges. Median rent has reached record highs, with a nearly 10% annual increase pushing prices above A$2,300 per month. While still cheaper than Sydney or international cities like San Francisco, Melbourne is no longer a low-cost option for digital nomads. However, its cost-of-living is generally balanced by the city’s high livability and access to top-tier public services.

In social metrics, Melbourne stands out. The city earned near-perfect scores for minority inclusion and LGBT+ rights, and benefits from a strong public healthcare system. These strengths make it particularly appealing to remote workers relocating with families or looking for a stable, welcoming environment.

Despite its strengths, there’s room for improvement. Melbourne does not yet offer a specialized remote worker visa, something countries like Estonia and Portugal have introduced to attract international talent. Expanding visa options and easing housing pressures would enhance the city’s appeal as the global competition for digital professionals intensifies.

Melbourne’s recognition highlights its transformation from cultural capital to remote-work powerhouse. With thoughtful investment and targeted policy, the city is well-positioned to lead the future of work.
