Do you want to know how to access Hulu in Australia? Hulu lets you watch things a day after. If you want to watch a TV show on Netflix, you have to pretty much wait until the season is over. And that kills the tension. It also means that you know everything that’s going to happen in a TV show because the internet will tell you, and if it doesn’t, your friends will. So yeah, of course, you want to access Hulu in Australia.
But wanting and doing are both different things, and accessing Hulu is not easy in Australia or any country where it’s not supported, with that being everywhere but the US.
And since the title of this post would tell you that this post is about how to access Hulu in Australia, we’ll help you. And if you want to set up Hulu in Canada, we have a post on that too, although the methods are pretty much the same.
To access Hulu in Australia, you need to first have an account. And that, well that involves having an American card to make an account. If you don’t, Hulu won’t let you make an account.
And if you don’t have an account, you for sure won’t be able to access Hulu in Australia.
You have a few options:
A virtual card is easier to get than a prepaid card but the likelihood of it working is also much lower.
Our advice? Ask an American friend to help you. That’s the most stress-free option.
Either way, without an American card, you won’t be able to sign up for a Hulu account. If you want to access Hulu in Australia, figure that out.
Without an American card you won’t be able to access Hulu in Canada, but ultimately it’s fooling Hulu that is the most important step if you want to watch Hulu.
How do you fool Hulu to access Hulu in Australia? By using a VPN and connecting to the Hulu supported server.
A VPN is a virtual private network which can virtually change your location. But changing your location to be in the US instead of Australia is not enough as Hulu knows that people use VPN services.
At PrivateVPN we offer a selection of working Hulu servers. If you connect to the right server, you will be able to access Hulu in Australia. Making Hulu think you are in the US is the most crucial element to accessing Hulu. You only need to make an account once. Fooling Hulu? That’s forever. Especially since it doesn’t look like they will be expanding any time soon.
And that means that you should consider which VPN you will get. PrivateVPN also supports many Netflix locations meaning that it’s not only American Netflix you will be able to access. DAZN, the Netflix of live sports is also supported amongst many other platforms.

If you are on a Windows device or on a Mac, you will be fine, but on mobile devices and on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, you will need to download the app. And that’s not that simple. We’ll go over the steps necessary for all platforms below:
To download Hulu on an Apple device, you need to sign out of your current iCloud account followed by making a new one with its details in the US in order for an American App Store to load. You could technically just change your location to be in the US, but that would result in you losing every single thing on your account. And you don’t want that, do you?
This should let you download Hulu, and if doesn’t then play around with clearing data and force stopping a few times.
Go to amazon.com.au and click on the button that states Your Account. There, find Content & Devices and update your address to be in the US. Then turn your Fire TV Stick on and go to Settings where you need to press on My Account. There you will need to press on Deregister.
This will require you to sign in again. We hope you didn’t forget your password.
You might have to remove payment methods depending on your card in order for the Hulu app download to succeed. And if you do, you most likely will also have to provide an American card as a substitute which shouldn’t be a problem as you need one for Hulu either way.
Hulu makes accessing Hulu in Australia a bit hard, but it’s nothing you can’t go past. The card will probably be the biggest issue for you.
But after that, all that content, you will be able to access it.
Oh, and if you also want to know how to access DAZN in Australia or any other country, we have posts about that too.
