Disney+ advertised these regular Australian monthly rates when we checked on 3 November 2026. If your household already pays for Disney+, first open the show on that account. You may have the episode at no extra cost.
Check who bills you before taking a second offer. For eligible customers who sign up through Telstra, Telstra bills Disney+ Standard or Premium monthly. If the subscription is already billed through Apple, Google or another partner, Telstra directs subscribers to Disney+ support to discuss their options.

On 12 October 2026, a tester in Australia played 9-1-1 S9E1 for 12 minutes in Firefox on a Windows 11 HP EliteBook, using OpenVPN Connect with a USip profile.

Both records identify an episode and minutes played. Neither records whether a U.S. TV provider was already linked, whether an Australian IP was tried in the same session, or whether the episode played to the end. Use the guides below for device setup. Check today’s episode label before assuming yesterday’s recording means you can watch the same episode without a TV package.
These recordings predate the retirement of the US ABC app. Follow the connection steps, then visit ABC.com in a supported browser.
Connect your USip profile in OpenVPN Connect. Open ABC.com in a fresh browser window and start an episode marked as unlocked.
If another episode shows a padlock, check your participating TV package. A working first video does not remove the second episode’s lock.
Connect on the Mac, confirm its public IP location, then open the episode on ABC.com in a new browser window.
A provider sign-in prompt is an account check. Reselect your participating provider before changing the Mac’s VPN settings.
After connecting the USip profile, open ABC.com in your mobile browser. If a saved link opens an old app, type the address into the browser.
