About Aldi
What Aldi does, its mission and values, and what it's like to work there in Australia.
ALDI is a discount supermarket chain that sells a mostly own-brand grocery range from a deliberately small, low-cost store format. Part of the privately held global ALDI group, it entered Australia in 2001 and now runs more than 580 stores across New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia; it does not trade in Tasmania or the Northern Territory.
ALDI Australia is headquartered at Minchinbury in western Sydney and is organised into regions, each built around a distribution centre that supplies the surrounding stores. The company employs more than 16,000 people across Australia.
ALDI's store model uses multi-skilled staff rather than narrow departments, so most frontline jobs are store assistant and retail assistant roles that rotate across registers, shelf-stocking, and cleaning, alongside store management associate and store manager positions. Pay for these roles is set under ALDI's own enterprise agreement rather than the general retail award.
The distribution network adds warehouse-operator and transport (truck-driver) roles, while regional and national offices hire in buying, finance, property, human resources, and IT. ALDI also runs structured graduate and store-management training programs.
Applications are handled directly through the ALDI Australia careers site; CareerTrees links through to those official listings.
