Prime Video is one of the longest-standing streaming services in Australia, having been here since the end of 2016. In that time, it has grown its catalogue to have the most titles on a streaming service in Australia.
It has invested heavily in quality, original content and is responsible for some of the most talked about shows on the planet. So here are some things you might want to know before giving it a try.
Prime Video costs $9.99 a month in Australia. You can also save if you sign up for a year for $79.
You get more than just a streaming service. You're also signing up for Amazon Prime, which aside from the ability to watch movies and TV shows gives you extras such as free expedited delivery on eligible products, plus free music, podcasts, games and more.
In September 2023, the service announced that starting in 2024, Prime Video shows and movies will include limited advertisements in Australia. There will be an ad-free option which is expected to cost more. The price of that option will be shared by Prime Video at a later date.

Prime Video has 3,340 TV shows and 11,615 movies and is committed to creating high-quality original content. Some of the acclaimed originals it has produced include Reacher, Jack Ryan, Fleabag, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Boys and The Wheel of Time.
On the movie front, you might want to check out Shotgun Wedding, My Policeman, Catherine Called Birdy, Air and more.
That being said, it's not just originals in Prime Video's library, there are thousands of other shows and movies. Check out our list of Prime Video's best shows and movies.
Prime Video is also developing local Australian content. It has titles such as cricket docuseries The Test, AFL docuseries Making Their Mark and swimming doco Head Above Water.
It's not just sports documentaries though. Other local titles include Luxe Listings Sydney and Burning. And perhaps in a big coup, Prime Video was part of rescuing Neighbours and is streaming new episodes.
After previously screening swimming events and WNBA, Prime Video has further branched out into sport by screening some cricket tournaments. It will screen all ICC events until the end of 2027 in Australia including the men's and women's T20 and ODI World Cups.
Yes, Prime Video is free with Amazon Prime, which comes with a 30-day free trial. This gives you access to all of the services Amazon Prime offers, including Prime Video, Amazon Music, Prime Reading and free shipping on eligible products.
Prime Video Channels are add-on subscriptions you can get through Prime Video for easy access to all your entertainment in 1 app. Choose from 18 services to then access with a single Prime login. This includes 4 apps not available elsewhere in Australia.
Prices for these channels vary and will be extra on top of your monthly Prime Video subscription. They are additional, paid subscriptions that allow you to stream content from third-party entertainment services. The advantage here is that you'll be able to access any of these services directly through the Prime Video app, simplifying the entire streaming process.
Here are the services available via Prime Video Channels in Australia:
You can watch Prime Video on a variety of devices:
Prime Video lets you stream on 3 different devices simultaneously as long as the content you're watching differs. You can stream the same title on only 2 devices at a time.
Prime Video can be clunky and difficult to navigate, but the service underwent a redesign and is rolling out a new and improved interface.
Otherwise, the service comes packed with premium features that make watching content a breeze. That includes the basics – parental controls, subtitles and audio descriptions – as well as some fun extras:
