In 1959, a group of forward thinking service agents formed the Retra TV Service Association of Victoria. In 1961, this group of service agents, who had by now ventured into retailing, felt that it was time that they formalised their buying group. A meeting of all interested partners was called, and from this meeting, Retravision was born. The name "Retravision" came from the initials of the Radio Electrical TV Retailers Association, together with the word "vision" that was added to give emphasis to Television, a product that was really taking off in 1961. The business model created in Victoria was so successful that it was replicated in other states across Australia and later in New Zealand. The original concept of the group was to give the independent retailer, the opportunity and means of buying and marketing together effectively, and competitively. All these years later, this is still the primary aim and purpose of the Group.
