At the time of writing, no. Netflix is one of the few streaming services to not offer a free trial. However, below are several ways to either get free Netflix with ads or a discount on on ad-free plan.
Netflix bundling through Optus SubHub
Optus SubHub has a tidy way of bundling a range of subscription services, including Netflix, while also offering a discounted rate.
Simply bundle together two eligible subscriptions for 5% off or three or more for a maximum 10% off. For example, if you were to bundle Netflix Standard, Paramount Plus, and Amazon Prime Standard you would pay $35.97 per month, thanks to the 10% off discount. That's a saving of $4 per month.
With Optus SubHub you can bundle together Netflix, Amazon Prime, Paramount Plus, Kayo Sports, Binge, BritBox, Microsoft 365, YouTube Premium, Hayu, DAZN, Spacetalk and Kindle Unlimited. Many of these also offer with free trials to get you started.
Foxtel Bundles with Netflix Australia
Foxtel customers who subscribe to eligible Foxtel Bundles will get a Standard Netflix subscription (RRP $20.99) included plus a HBO Max Basic with Ads subscription (RRP $15.99 per month) in one tidy bill.
Simply choose from one of three Foxtel packages that include Netflix Standard bundled in to get started. We've outlined these packages, their inclusions and pricing below:

Across all three package options users can opt for a new iQ5 set-top box, the ability to stream on multiple screens, and access their subscription via the free Foxtel Go app. There are no set-up costs and Foxtel no longer requires a satellite to get connected; just a stable internet connection is needed. These packages are available to new customers only.
Now let's do the math: Netflix Standard is $20.99 per month and HBO Max Basic with Ads is $11.99 per month, which totals $32.98 per month. Below is a handy breakdown of how much you'll ultimately pay across each package for accessing just Foxtel by taking away the monthly costs of Netflix and HBO Max:
| Platinum Plus (incl. Netflix) | Sports & Netflix |
Movies & Netflix |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Package total price | $155 per month | $130 per month | $125 per month |
| Package discounted price* | $99 per month* | $86 per month* | $86 per month* |
| Foxtel cost / Package cost minus Netflix & HBO Max prices | $122.02 per month ($66.02 per month with discount) | $97.02 per month ($53.02 per month with discount) | $92.02 per month ($53.02 per month with discount) |
