Shop safe at Coles

Shopping safely remains our top priority, and we have extensive measures in place to help keep our team members and customers safe. 

Temporary pack limits are in place

Due to high demand and in some areas impacts due to flooding, we have introduced temporary pack limits per transaction/per customer on a range of products in store and online. Please note there are different pack limits for different states and territories. Check pack limits here.

Information on exposure sites

We take COVID safety extremely seriously and continue to work with state and Federal governments to keep our customers and team members safe.

Coles’ standard cleaning procedures comply with the Federal Government’s COVID-19 Hygiene Practices For Supermarkets and frequent cleaning and sanitisation occurs in all of our stores.

Coles Group will no longer publish new exposure sites. For information about exposure sites in your State and advice about what to do if you are a close contact, please visit the following government sites:

 

We thank our customers for their patience during this time and ask that they continue to treat our team with kindness and respect, and to purchase only what they need.

Health & safety

We know that health and safety is front of mind for lots of our customers, and we want to let you know that we’re working closely with the Department of Health to ensure the most effective protection for both you and our team members in our stores during the COVID-19 situation. Where required by the government, we ask our customers ensure they are wearing a face mask before entering our stores, unless they have an exemption – and the same rules apply to our team.

How to be a safe and speedy shopper at Coles

1. Plan your shop

Before leaving home, create a shopping list in the Coles App. It’s best to have alternatives on your list in case your usual choice is unavailable.

2. When you're shopping

Check in with the QR codes on display. We encourage you to shop alone wherever possible, and ask all customers to wash or sanitise their hands before entering the store. We also request that you touch only what you buy across the store.

3. Use the Coles App in-store

You can save time using the Coles App while shopping in-store. Group your items in a list, find a product by aisle and save your shop on the App for next time.

4. At the checkout

We now have marked signs at our supermarket checkouts to help you queue and pack at a safe distance. We ask that you scan your flybuys card yourself and we prefer card payments when checking out.
