Not sure which city you're in but if you're starting out in business then the one thing I can tell you that I wish someone had told me 7 years ago is: networking is not for losers.
Networking is the most valuable thing you can do in business.
Some great networking hubs are @inspire9 in Melbourne (tweet at them they're really responsive), the York Butter Factory also in Melbourne and Fishburners.org in Sydney (they have co-working spaces in Ultimo and urr, Darlinghurst I think?).
I know there's a good place in Brisbane, too but I can't remember the name. If you tweet @pc0 he'll tell you :) He visited recently (and is one of the foundational members of the Fishburners community).
