Homemakers Furniture Ltd is a limited public company owned entirely by its members, all of whom are independent owner operators. Members enjoy the support from head office and the security offered by an established market leader, while remaining the "boss". From our inception as a buying group of Independent Furniture Retailers over 60 years ago, we have jealously guarded our basic philosophy of bringing marketing and buying power to our members whist maintaining retailer independence. The retailer who owns the store, also runs the store and is part of the local community, bringing local community, interest, knowledge and commitment to their market. Starting out as Newfurn furniture in 1958 and with a change of name to First Choice Furniture in 1995, Homemakers Furniture was officially formed in January 2002. With stores located in Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, ACT, South Australia and Western Australia, Homemakers is Australia's biggest independent furniture buying group in the country.
