What's available

Hulu does not officially operate in Australia. If you're accessing it through a VPN (more on that below), you'll land on the US library, which includes a strong lineup of originals and licensed content. Standout titles include The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, The Handmaid's Tale, Shogun, and Abbott Elementary. The platform also carries next-day episodes from major US networks like ABC, NBC, and Fox, meaning shows like Grey's Anatomy and The Voice land on Hulu fast. Films include a rotating library with titles from 20th Century Studios and various indie picks.

What you're missing

Without a US connection, you're missing everything — Hulu is completely geo-blocked outside the United States. Even with a VPN, some content requires a US payment method and address to create an account. Specific titles locked behind this barrier include:

  • Reservation Dogs
  • Little Fires Everywhere
  • Nine Perfect Strangers
  • Dopesick
  • Live sports via Hulu + Live TV
  • ESPN+ and Disney+ bundle deals available only to US subscribers

How to access other regions

To watch Hulu from Australia, you need a VPN that reliably unblocks US streaming platforms. Connect your VPN to a United States server — ideally one based in New York or Los Angeles for the best speeds. Once connected, visit Hulu as normal. You'll also need a US-based account, which may require a US billing address.

Our top recommendation is NordVPN. It consistently unblocks Hulu, offers fast server speeds across multiple US locations, and works on all major devices including smart TVs, phones, and desktop browsers.

Pricing

Hulu does not offer pricing in Australian dollars. US plans currently start at around USD $7.99 per month for the ad-supported tier and USD $17.99 for the ad-free plan. The Hulu + Live TV bundle runs around USD $76.99 per month. You'll need a US payment method such as a Visa or Mastercard with a US billing address to subscribe.

Our recommendation

If you're in Australia and want access to Hulu's deep library of originals like The Bear and Shogun, it's absolutely worth the effort. Grab a NordVPN subscription, connect to a US server, and set up your Hulu account using a US address. The content quality justifies the extra steps, especially if you're chasing shows that aren't available on Australian platforms like Stan or Binge.
