Turns out, you haven't even scratched the surface of the number of movies available on Netflix in Australia. Turns out, we also haven't even begun to uncover the thousands of movies at our fingertips, that is, until we stumbled upon a marvellous secret: Netflix codes.

If you've heard of Netflix codes, you've probably assumed that they're not real. Netflix codes in Australia are certainly real and here to make your movie-bingeing sessions all the more enjoyable. Get ready to unlock way more cinematic genres than you even know what to do with!

How to Access Netflix Codes in Australia

Gone are the days of hitting your local video shop to check out the latest blockbuster movies straight from Hollywood. Nowadays, all you have to do is click a button, and you're presented with hundreds of movies at your fingertips, but are you using Netflix to its full potential?

Even though Netflix usually fills our screens with plenty of movies to watch each week, it can sometimes feel like there's nothing good to watch, am I right? This is one of life's amusing conundrums, but not for long. You see, Netflix actually has WAY more movies in their arsenal than we're led to believe; in particular, there are way more movie genres and sub-genres you can access. So, unless you have time to literally spend hours scrolling through Netflix, it might be time to unlock some secret codes.

Netflix Codes on a Web Browser

If the genres on your Netflix account are starting to seem a bit drab and same-same, it's time to put Netflix codes to good use.

There are a couple of types of codes to use to unlock Pandora's box. One type is designed to be used in a web browser to unlock access to thousands of movie genres beyond the mainstream ones that Netflix presents to viewers. And we're not talking about niche topics like 'Film noir' or 'Mockumentaries', we're talking about super-niche genres like 'Coming-of-age-dramas-based-on-books', or 'Visually-striking-imaginative-movies'.

Netflix codes in Australia can only be accessed via your online Netflix account — simply log into your Netflix account and enter www.netflix.com/browse/genre/xxxx into the URL, then replace the 'xxxx' with the number that corresponds to the particular Netflix subcategory you want to find. Once you find a movie to watch, simply search for it on your TV.

Typing Netflix Codes Into the App

Typing Netflix codes straight into the app on your TV or device is another, MUCH easier way to unlock the exact genres you're after, but it isn't as reliable. Netflix adds and changes codes to these lists all the time, so take these codes with a grain of salt.
