About Wesfarmers

As one of Australia's largest listed companies, we're proud of our longstanding contribution to Australians. Wesfarmers' achievements are deeply rooted in the desire to continually reinvent ourselves for the brands we own and operate, including leading retailers like Bunnings, Kmart, Target, Catch, Officeworks and Priceline.

Our work doesn't stop there, we operate in the industrials sector which supplies the nation with chemicals, energy and fertilisers, and industrial and safety products. And in 2022, we established OneDigital to power the Group's data and digital growth ambitions.

The Corporate Office provides corporate services and support to the autonomous Wesfarmers divisions, helping to enable the achievement of Group objectives. The Corporate office leads capital allocation and portfolio management for the Group and focuses on leveraging and enhancing the Group's reputation to support attraction and retention of talent, securing investment opportunities and maintaining a low-cost capital.

To do this, we need great people, working together and role modelling our values and ways of working.

Our Culture

We're results-focused, but we're a business that cares. Here we are less about titles and more about everyone playing a valuable role. We provide autonomy and space with freedom to operate, quickly learning from mistakes because we know they are part of the way forward. We're curious, open-minded, and collaborative. And although we're thought leaders, we're humble, and willing to share knowledge and learn from one another.

We know that diversity fosters greater innovation and better customer connection, so we strive to create an inclusive and diverse work environment. This means promoting the development of our people and fostering a sense of belonging irrespective of gender, ethnicity, generation, flexible work status, family circumstances, sexual orientation or disability.
