The station first broadcast on 1 February 1999 as Vision FM, with a single transmitter located at Beaudesert, Queensland. By 2001 it had established around 40 transmission sites, and 156 by 2004. The network's growth was assisted first by the purchase of 16 High-Powered Open Narrowcast (HPON) licenses in Western Sydney in 2002, and thereafter other HPON licenses in Victoria and Western Australia.
In 2023, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) reported that it had 875 radio transmitters across Australia in all mainland states.
In 2023 Vision Christian Radio started transmitting on DAB+ throughout Brisbane with plans for expansion across Australia with DAB+.
During 2023, Vision Kids was launched as a streaming only radio station that provides positive music and content to kids featuring content from Colin Buchanan, Dan Warlow and Sean W Smith.
