The five main streaming services Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Stan and Paramount+ spent around $670 million on Australian and Australian-related programming in fiscal 2022, as part of a push to entice local subscribers and ahead of the government introducing content quotas for the streamers.
The figures, detailed in the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s third annual subscription video-on-demand Australian content investment report, show the streaming services spent money on a range of local programming including dramas, documentaries and reality shows.
