At Coles Group, we’re all about our ‘why’ – our purpose – to sustainably feed all Australians to help them live happier, healthier lives. And in these current times, this has never been more important.

Coles Group is one of Australia’s largest and most iconic retailers, with more than 2,400 outlets across our portfolio of Australian supermarkets, liquor and convenience stores. We have a proud history starting in 1914 when G.J. Coles opened our first store in Collingwood, Victoria.

Today, we have almost 120,000 team members who are making a difference to the 21 million customers who shop with us each week. The day-to-day decisions and actions of our team members are guided by our four Values; Customer obsession, Passion and pace, Responsibility, and Health and Happiness. Supported by our LEaD behaviours (Look ahead, Energise everyone and Deliver with pride) which we exhibit when we’re at our best, our Values shape the way we work together to get things done. Our team members are a diverse bunch and we authentically celebrate this at Coles Group – because a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture drives innovation, diversity of thought, new ideas and a better work environment for everyone.
