What's available

Netflix Australia gives you access to a solid library that covers most of the platform's flagship originals. You can stream popular series like Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday, Ozark, The Crown, and Bridgerton without any issues. On the film side, you'll find Netflix originals like The Irishman, Bird Box, Glass Onion, and Extraction. Australian-produced content is also well represented, including Wellmania and Clickbait.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library, Australia's Netflix catalogue is noticeably smaller. Several high-demand titles are geo-locked out, including:

  • Schitt's Creek — available in the US but not Australia
  • The Office (US) — region-restricted outside Australia's library
  • Parks and Recreation — US-only on Netflix
  • Arrested Development — limited availability in Australia
  • A large portion of licensed studio films rotate out of the Australian catalogue faster than the US equivalent

The US library remains the largest, with thousands more titles across drama, comedy, and documentary.

How to access other regions

To unlock the US Netflix library from Australia, you need a VPN. A VPN masks your real location and assigns you an IP address in another country, making Netflix think you're browsing from that region.

Here's how to do it:

  • Subscribe to a VPN — we recommend NordVPN as the most reliable option for Netflix unblocking
  • Install the NordVPN app on your device
  • Connect to a US server — try cities like New York or Los Angeles for the best speeds
  • Open Netflix and you'll now see the full US catalogue

NordVPN consistently bypasses Netflix's geo-blocks and offers fast connection speeds that keep streaming smooth in HD and 4K.

Pricing

Netflix in Australia is priced in Australian dollars. Current plans are approximately:

  • Standard with ads: AUD $7.99/month
  • Standard: AUD $18.99/month
  • Premium: AUD $22.99/month

Pricing can change, so check Netflix's website directly for the latest rates.

Our recommendation

Netflix Australia is worth subscribing to, but if you want the full experience, pairing it with NordVPN is a smart move. You get access to thousands of additional titles — including classics like Schitt's Creek and Parks and Recreation — that simply aren't available in your region. Connect to a US server, and you'll unlock the world's largest Netflix library in minutes.
