Initially established as an online disc rental company in 2003, Quickflix launched online movie downloads in 2006, and their streaming service in 2011. By June 2014 the company had more than 182,000 subscribers. 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. The company entered voluntary administration in early 2016, and was relaunched later that year under new owners. After several more years of trading, Quickflix was wound up in September 2021.
