What's available

Amazon Prime Video in Australia gives you access to a solid library of originals and licensed content. You can stream hit originals like The Boys, Reacher, Fallout, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Gen V. On the film side, you get access to Air, Saltburn, Road House (2024), and the Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The Rings of Power series is also available, making it a strong destination for fantasy fans. Licensed content includes popular titles like Succession and select seasons of The Walking Dead.

What you're missing

The US library is noticeably larger. Australian subscribers miss out on several licensed films and TV shows that haven't cleared regional rights. Specific titles unavailable in Australia include Justified, certain seasons of Downton Abbey, The Wire, and a wider selection of classic Hollywood films. Some sports content available through Prime Video in the US is also locked out. The gap isn't always obvious until you search for something specific and hit a wall.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your apparent location so Amazon Prime Video serves you content from a different regional library. Here's how to do it:

  • Subscribe to a reliable VPN service
  • Install the app on your device
  • Connect to a US server to access the American library
  • Open Amazon Prime Video and browse as normal

We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It reliably bypasses Prime Video's geo-restrictions, offers fast streaming speeds, and has a large number of US server locations to choose from. If one server gets blocked, you can simply switch to another.

Pricing

Amazon Prime Video in Australia is available as part of an Amazon Prime membership, currently priced at AUD $9.99 per month or AUD $99 per year. A standalone Prime Video subscription is available for AUD $6.99 per month if you don't need the full Prime membership. Prices are subject to change, so check Amazon's Australian site for the latest figures.

Our recommendation

Amazon Prime Video Australia is worth subscribing to for its originals alone — The Boys, Reacher, and Fallout are genuinely excellent. But if you want the full experience and access to the larger US catalogue, pairing your subscription with NordVPN is a smart move. Connect to a US server, unlock significantly more content, and get far better value from your monthly spend.
