About Bureaux
Bureaux is a membership-based business lounge and business centre that provides professional workspaces, meeting rooms, and office amenities in Melbourne’s central business district. Their flagship lounge has operated from Level 1, 530 Lonsdale Street, offering a mix of private workstations, meeting and conference rooms, café-style seating, relaxation areas, showers, and business support services such as printing, scanning, and reception.([onlymelbourne.com.au](https://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/bureaux-business-lounges?utm_source=openai)) Designed for mobile professionals, small businesses, and corporate teams, Bureaux focuses on offering a professional CBD base without the long-term cost and commitment of a traditional office.
A “Bureaux” charge on your bank or card statement is most likely related to using one of their business lounges or services, either in Melbourne or at another Bureaux-branded lounge in Australia.([dynamicbusiness.com](https://dynamicbusiness.com/topics/technology/why-small-businesses-are-embracing-business-lounges4562.html?utm_source=openai)) Common scenarios include day passes or casual access to the lounge, prepaid bookings for meeting or conference rooms, monthly or flexible memberships, or virtual office services such as mail handling and call answering. You may also see charges for catering or refreshments added to a meeting-room booking, printing or copying services, or late-cancellation/no‑show fees if you changed or missed a reserved room. In some cases, a small temporary authorization hold may appear when you check in or place a booking, which later adjusts to the final amount.
If you’re unsure about a Bureaux charge, start by searching your email for “Bureaux” or “business lounge” to locate booking confirmations, invoices, or membership receipts, and check any calendar entries for meetings held at 530 Lonsdale Street or other Bureaux locations on or around the transaction date.([onlymelbourne.com.au](https://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/bureaux-business-lounges?utm_source=openai)) Compare the amount and date with any room bookings, membership renewals, or day-pass visits you or your company may have made. To resolve questions, contact Bureaux using the phone number shown in your booking confirmation, on your invoice, or via the main Melbourne number listed in local directories (+61 3 9640 0419), and provide the last four digits of the card, the exact amount, and transaction date so they can look it up.([onlymelbourne.com.au](https://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/bureaux-business-lounges?utm_source=openai)) If you still cannot match the charge after checking with Bureaux and any colleagues who might have used your card for business, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute or block further payments.
