As of 16th March 2026, Civitai has blocked Australian users from using its site. They are required by the Australian Government to ensure that the age of their users and visitors is verified and Civitai claim that that they don’t have the capital to invest in this. Therefore, easiest solution is to block the users.
I’m not sure how they expect to survive if they keep blocking users from accessing their site. I read about many countries that have already been blocked but I didn’t believe it until I saw the message that confirmed this is in affect for Australia as well.
Now the solution is straight forward, move to a country that hasn’t been blocked.
No seriously that’s what they expect their users to do as they fail to comply with the requirements. That’s crazy!
The solution is straight forward get a VPN client on your Computer and you can easily access Civitai. I connected to the US end point using Mega VPN and now I have complete access to Civitai site.
