If your Netflix bill feels a little heavier this month, you’re not imagining it — the streaming giant has quietly bumped up prices for every plan in Australia.
Just over a year after its last hike, Netflix has updated its website with the new numbers, and here’s how it shakes out:
Standard plan with ads: up from $7.99 to $9.99 a month — that’s $24 more a year.
Standard plan without ads: up by $2 a month, now $20.99.
Premium plan: the biggest jump, up $3 to $28.99 a month.
Even the cost of adding extra members has gone up.
If you’re on the standard plan with ads, it’ll now cost $6.99 (up from $5.99) per extra user.
On the standard no-ads plan, it’s $8.99 (up from $7.99).
When you combine this with the changes from May 2024, the cheapest Netflix plan is now almost 43% more expensive than it was just over a year ago, and the ad-free plan has climbed by 25%. And remember, Netflix scrapped its $12.99 basic plan earlier this year — so streaming without ads now costs even more.
Netflix says the increase is about “delivering more value” and that “plans now start at $9.99 AUD.”
Whether that “value” feels worth it… well, that’s up to you and your watchlist.
