Prime began in the US with a revolutionary premise - to deliver 1 million items fast and free directly to your doorstep. Since the launch of Prime in Australia in 2018 we have invested and innovated in our fulfilment and transportation networks, logistics, supply chain, and software to meaningfully expand the selection and speed with which we could deliver items to customers. Today, Prime is much more expansive and much faster. Prime now brings the best of shopping, saving and entertainment to members, including One-Day delivery on a huge range of eligible items in select postcodes in Melbourne and Sydney, exclusive Prime member discounts and access to Prime member deal events like Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days, streaming of popular movies and shows, and access to 100 million songs ad-free in shuffle mode on Amazon Music, amongst the range of other benefits.

One of the Prime benefits that we continue investing heavily in is Prime Video, which has expanded to offer hit movies, great shows and award-winning Amazon Originals all in a single destination. Prime Video offers a vast selection of movies and series, including Amazon Originals. Amazon MGM Studios earned 68 Primetime Emmy Award nominations this year, marking the Studio’s biggest year ever, with critically acclaimed and fan-favourite series The Marvelous Mrs Maisel becoming the most Emmy-nominated streaming comedy ever with 80 nominations over its five-season run.

To continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time, starting in 2024, Prime Video shows and movies will include limited advertisements in Australia. We aim to have meaningfully fewer ads than linear TV and other streaming TV providers. No action is required for Australian Prime members. We’re not making changes in 2024 to the current price of Prime membership. We will also offer a new ad-free option and will share the price of that option at a later date. We will email Prime members several weeks before ads are introduced into Prime Video with information on how to sign up for the ad-free option if they would like.
