As supermarkets providing an essential service, our priority is helping our most vulnerable communities access food and household staples at a time when it can be difficult for them to shop in our stores.
We’re therefore working to serve as many vulnerable customers as possible. If you’re a vulnerable customer, you can access groceries in four ways:
We also encourage everyone to think about those in genuine need in their community. Whether it’s your building, street or suburb, we ask that you offer help wherever possible.
Please check our websites for information on Community Hour and our online services. If you’d like more information on the NDIS list, including questions on eligibility, please visit ndis.gov.au or call 1800 800 110. For more information on My Aged Care visit myagedcare.gov.au.
The Australian Government has deemed supermarkets as an essential service; as such, we're working closely with the Department of Health to ensure our stores follow the latest guidelines to keep all customers and team members safe this Easter..
We recommend that you plan and visit earlier this week, as this will allow you to shop during quieter periods. Nationally we’re open every day until Thursday, and on Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We’re also open 11am-5pm on Good Friday in NSW, ACT and NT. Our Community Hour will also run nationally 7am-8am Monday-Thursday this week*. Please see coles.com.au for your nearest store’s opening hours across this week and Easter weekend.
*please check your local store for details.
Outside of Easter, we’ve also extended our regular trading hours to 7am – 10pm* to help shop when it’s most convenient for you. Late evenings are typically less busy and we therefore recommend visiting at this time if you prefer a quieter shopping period.
*where state laws allow. WA & QLD typically open til 9pm Mon-Fri. Please check coles.com.au for your nearest store’s opening hours & weekend hours.
Over the coming week, at the necessary times we will introduce limits on how many customers can be in a Coles store. We ask that you follow team member instructions and any signs in-store so we can safely serve as many customers in the community as possible.
We’re continuing to add extra cleaning and sanitisation in our stores to help ensure the safety of both our customers and team members. Checkouts and self-service areas will now have additional cleaning every hour, plus we’ll be providing more wipes for baskets and trolleys. To help minimise close contact time, we’ll be asking you to follow the signs around the store, the packing instructions at the checkout, and when paying, scanning your own flybuys card and using tap & go payment wherever possible.

The Australian Government has deemed supermarkets as an essential service; as such, we’re working closely with the Department of Health to ensure our stores follow the latest guidelines to keep all customers and team members safe. The latest information outlines that you have a low risk of contracting COVID-19 if you are in close contact with team members or other customers for less than 15 minutes.
So we’ve created a few tips and tricks to help become a Coles Speedy Shopper - click here to view our recommendations on how we can help you shop safely during this time.
We recommend you create a shopping list before visiting a store and have alternatives on your list in case your usual choice is unavailable. Using the Coles App is a great way to build and store your list. We also ask that you do not visit a store if you are feeling unwell and ask a friend or family member to shop for you.
We encourage you to shop alone whenever possible, and we ask all customers to wash or sanitise their hands before entering the store. We request that you follow the store navigation signs to complete your shop as efficiently as possible. We also request that you touch only what you’ll buy across the store.
We now have marked signs at our supermarket checkouts to help you queue and pack at a safe distance. We ask that you pack your own bags to minimise both handling and close contact time. We also ask that you scan your flybuys card yourself when paying, and we prefer card payments including tap & go when checking out.
Coles Community Hour is now open to carers, friends and neighbours of vulnerable customers 7am-8am* every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Carers, friends and neighbours simply need to present the eligible customer’s government-issued Pensioner Concession Card, Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, Companion Card, Seniors Card, Disability Card, Health Care Card or proof of age when entering the store^.
*where state laws allow, ^these arrangements will be reviewed as necessary.
Our team members, suppliers and transport partners have been working hard to deliver more products to stores every day and we are stocking shelves as quickly as possible.
To continue to allow everyone the opportunity to purchase staple items, the following purchase limits are currently in place:
We will also be introducing some additional limits on certain items in each store. These can vary between stores, so please visit your local Coles for more information.
We are grateful to our team members and suppliers who are working tirelessly to do the best job possible under the circumstances, and we thank you for your understanding and support. Please continue to respect and support our team members, particularly if a product isn’t available or the checkout queues are longer than normal.
Our supermarkets will remain open 7am to 10pm every day*, with the first hour of trade on weekdays exclusively for Coles Community Hour. Once this hour is complete, all other customers will be invited through the doors to complete their grocery shop. Supermarkets will also close no later than 10pm to give our team members the time and space to extensively clean our stores and replenish the shelves for customers the next day.
*where state laws allow.
Community Hour is held from Monday to Friday from 7am to 8am in all Coles supermarkets, for the following community members:

They simply need to present a government-issued identification card when entering the store^ (carers, friends and neighbours simply need to present one of the following cards of the person they are shopping on behalf of):
^these arrangements will be reviewed as necessary.
Store managers will use sensible discretion and compassion to ensure vulnerable customers who require access are able to complete their shopping during Community Hour.

Coles Dandenong Plaza cleared to trade 5th April, 2020
A team member at Coles’ Dandenong Plaza VIC supermarket is self-isolating after testing positive for COVID-19 yesterday.
Coles worked with the Victorian Department of Health to conduct contact tracing, which confirmed no other team members had close contact or required self-isolation. Coles’ standard cleaning procedures comply with the Federal Government’s Federal Government’s COVID-19 Hygiene Practices For Supermarkets. As an added precaution, Coles has conducted an additional deep clean of the store overnight.
The Victorian Department of Health has confirmed the store can continue to trade and the risk of transmission for customers and team members is very low. Click here for more information on the measures Coles is taking to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
If you would like more information on COVID-19 you can call the National Coronavirus Health Information Line on 1800 020 080.
For more information on stores that have been confirmed as safe to trade after having a staff member test positive for COVID-19 click here.

On Friday 27 March we paid our interim dividend, returning over $400 million to shareholders. This will benefit millions of Australians either through direct shareholding, superannuation or index funds.
To give extra support to those who need it most right now, every week we’ll be donating additional food and household goods to the retail value of $1M to our charity partners SecondBite and Foodbank. These charities are focused on helping our most vulnerable communities during this challenging time, and this additional support will help boost our ongoing food donation program. Unfortunately, community centres are closing down making it more difficult to help those most at need.
Coles Online Priority Service (COPS) has been created to support our most vulnerable customers and communities during this challenging time, and ensure we help those that need it the most right now. Find out about who’s eligible and what services are available below.
