Netflix US might dominate Netflix Australia and New Zealand when it comes to content, but do you know exactly what you're missing out on?
Since Netflix finally launched Down Under, Aussies have enjoyed a bevy of exclusive series and hours upon hours of quality television and movies. However, the service is far from perfect. Netflix Australia still lacks many of the titles available in the US Netflix library, from hot new shows to all-time classics. In the table below, we've listed some of the most popular TV shows on Netflix US and whether they're available on Netflix here Down Under.

Im sorry but this lis is very inccorect. I live in australia and therefor i know that alot of these tv series are actually on netflix. Thanks
Thanks for your comment! Netflix is regularly updating its library with new content and removing TV shows, and though this list was accurate at the time of writing, it’s possible the library has since changed. If I may ask, which shows do you believe are incorrectly labelled?

Good Day! When the flip is Sydney weekender arriving on Netflix Australia? Cheers
Hi Mike,
That’s a bloody good question. Currently, Sydney Weekender isn’t available on Netflix or even its Aussie competitors, Presto or Stan. As for which provider decides to stream Sydney Weekender first, I’d say it’s a case of who dares wins.
Cheers,
Brodie
Hi there,
On the list it says ‘life’ from year 2007 is available. unfortunately I don’t think it is as I’ve tried searching for it.

Thanks,
Brodie

Is Greys Anatomy streamed on any provider in Australia?
I’m after older seasons… 4/5/6/7
Hi Miss Molly,
Unfortunately, Grey’s Anatomy is not available to stream on any service in Australia. I would recommend downloading the later seasons through iTunes at $2.99 an episode or $29.99 for the entire season.
Thanks,
Brodie
