Quickflix was an Australian company that provided online DVD and Blu-ray Disc rental by mail as well as internet streaming of movies and television shows via online pay-per-view or subscription.
Initially established as an online disc rental company in 2003, Quickflix launched online movie downloads in 2006, and their streaming service in 2011.[1] By June 2014 the company had more than 182,000 subscribers.[2][3] Although the first major streaming service to operate in Australia, Quickflix quickly lost ground to much larger competitor Netflix entering the market in 2015, among others.[4] The company entered voluntary administration in early 2016, and was relaunched later that year under new owners.[5] After several more years of trading, Quickflix was wound up in September 2021.[6]
