Vision Christian Radio is an Australian narrowcast radio station owned and operated by Vision Christian Media, an affiliate of United Christian Broadcasters. It broadcasts a Christian radioTemplate:Sfn[1][2][3] format of music and talk from studios in the Brisbane suburb of Underwood, to a network of more than 800 AM and FM radio frequencies.[4]
The station first broadcast on 1 February 1999 as Vision FM, with a single transmitter located at Beaudesert, Queensland.[2] By 2001 it had established around 40 transmission sites, and 156 by 2004.[2] The network's growth was assisted first by the purchase of 16 High-Powered Open Narrowcast (HPON) licenses in Western Sydney in 2002,[5] 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.[6]
In 2023 Vision Christian Radio started transmitting on DAB+ throughout Brisbane,[7] expanding to Melbourne[8] and Sydney[9] in 2024 with plans for expansion across Australia with DAB+.[10]
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.[11]
In 2025, Vision Worship was launched as a music stream designed to uplift and inspire. Featuring powerful songs that glorify God, it helps you stay connected to Him throughout your day. Whether at home, work, or on the go, Vision Worship creates an atmosphere of praise, drawing you closer to His presence.

The station broadcasts a mix of contemporary Christian music, messages from Christian national and international speakers and practical teaching.[14] Vision also produces a national news service which is also syndicated to Christian community radio stations in Australia.Template:Sfn
Controversy
In 2016, following an on-air segment with American Bible teacher Chuck Missler in which he criticised the Roman Catholic Church, Vision Christian Radio was found to have breached ACMA's Code of Conduct about acknowledging and responding to written complaints. ACMA dismissed related complaints that the network had perpetuated hatred or vilification during the interview.[15]
