• A dynamic learning and support program
• Competitive remuneration
• A discount card for Kmart, Target, Officeworks and Bunnings, plus other benefits
• An inclusive, fun recognition program
• A bonus program (where eligible)
• Development opportunities across Kmart Group (comprised of Kmart, Target and Catch) as well as the broader Wesfarmers Group
• Wesfarmers Share Plan access (where eligible).
