About Kmart
What Kmart does, its mission and values, and what it's like to work there in Australia.
Kmart is an Australian discount department store chain selling apparel, homewares, toys, and general merchandise, much of it designed in-house under its Anko brand. It is part of the Kmart Group — owned by the conglomerate Wesfarmers (ASX: WES) — which also operates Target; the two chains run around 446 stores across Australia and New Zealand and share a store-support office at Mulgrave in Melbourne.
Kmart trades in every Australian state and territory from large-format stores, typically in shopping centres and on standalone sites, and Kmart Group employs around 50,000 people across Australia, New Zealand, and its Asian sourcing markets.
Most jobs are store-based and frequently casual or part-time: retail assistants on the shop floor and registers, replenishment and night-fill team members, online order pickers, and visual-merchandising roles. Store leadership runs from team leaders and duty managers through to assistant and store managers.
Behind the stores, Kmart runs distribution centres with warehouse and logistics roles, and the Mulgrave office houses product design and buying, Anko sourcing, technology, supply chain, e-commerce, finance, and people teams. Store roles are covered by the General Retail Industry Award and the company's enterprise agreement.
