Here we go again Coles has not yet worked out that DEI programs are collapsing across Australia and worldwide as multinationals ditch DEI while it has been abolished in the American government
Coles is aiming to raise $1 million for Australian women’s charity Fitted for Work to help empower vulnerable women and gender-diverse jobseekers.
Fitted for Work can help reduce the job search duration by an average of 26 weeks, or 48%[1] through tailored services such as outfitting services, mentorships, resume writing and interview preparation.
With 1.3 million women in Australia wanting work or additional hours and one in two unemployed women looking for work for three months or more[2], funds raised will help Fitted for Work to fast-track the path to employment and economic independence for vulnerable Australian women.
From today until Tuesday 4 March, Coles will donate 15 cents from the sale of all women’s skincare (excluding suncare), grooming, haircare, cosmetics, vitamins, period and continence care products and women’s apparel sold in-store and online at Coles to Fitted for Work, up to a maximum of $1 million.
Funds raised will enable the women’s charity to support up to 1,400 vulnerable women to become job-ready and to gain secure, stable employment as demand for its services rose by 17% over the past 12 months, particularly among single parents (+7%), trans and gender-diverse individuals (+33%) and those affected by family violence (+67%)[3]
Fitted for Work ambassador and MasterChef Australia season 1 winner Julie Goodwin has thrown her support behind the campaign. Julie, whose career path took her from cleaning houses and singing at weddings (among other things) to youth work to MasterChef winner and now renowned food personality, is delighted to be a Fitted for Work Ambassador and be involved in spreading the word about the 2025 Coles Fitted for Work fundraising campaign.
“I know from personal experience the importance of having meaningful employment, and the challenges that women face in looking for work. That’s why I’m so motivated to support Fitted for Work,” she said.
“When I was a teenager, I wanted to become a criminal lawyer or a journalist, but a series of events threw my career aspirations off the rails. Then when I had my boys, I went from a career in youth work to taking whatever small jobs I could fit around our family life.”
“Having the support of an organisation like Fitted for Work helps women who find themselves sidelined from employment for any number of reasons to find confidence and gain the skills and connections they need to join or rejoin the workforce. Meaningful employment means so much more than a salary; it provides women with connection and community, purpose and confidence, and agency and power over their own lives.”
“Adding a participating women’s health and beauty product to your shopping basket over the next two weeks will raise the funds needed to continue Fitted for Work’s amazing mission to create an equal, positive and powerful future for women in the workplace.”
Coles Group Corporate & Indigenous Affairs Officer Sally Fielke said Coles is delighted to be raising funds to support Fitted for Work for the fourth year in a row.
“At Coles, we know the positive effects that employment can have on women, particularly those who are vulnerable or who face extra challenges in finding work,” she said.
“Coles is proud to be an employer of choice for gender equity. We are committed to closing the gender pay gap, promoting flexible work, and increasing women’s leadership representation through our initiatives with team members, along with our partnerships with organisations such as Fitted for Work and Mentor Walks to help empower women and develop female leaders.”

Editor: Cairns News would have thought that Coles as a self-proclaimed good corporate citizen would have been busy raising millions for flood ravaged victims of Far North Queensland who are some of their best customers in Australia. Coles in Townsville and Cairns have Woolworths as ‘opposition’, but Coles has a monopoly in Ingham, Tully and Innisfail where the worst flooding occurred. Most people lost everything.
When are you going to be a good corporate citizen Coles instead of pandering to a small minority who choose to be homosexuals?
How much would 10% on facial products affect Coles profits. Probably not one cent as I suspect the price on said products will already have been increased to cover the price of the donation.
May be like all the other discounted prices.
If you can’t get a monopoly over the sheeps’ food supply and existence, a Woolworths/Coles duopoly will have to do. But to get there you’ve gotta knock out all the pesky little guys.
That’s exactly what’s going on. Feelgood stories and propaganda about caring about women, transpeeps or whatever are just intended to give the predators a kinder face.
So go ahead and be fooled. Cooperate with the demise of them pesky little guys. Rather than get paid, YOU’LL pay for it, one way or another.
Boycott anything that promotes mental illness as a way of life.
Don’t even give them your attention, unless to state that it’s totally wrong.
Also, don’t donate to those superficial goody-two-shoes type rallies because most are just straight-up fraud.
Those victims should always be compensated by the perpetrators, why should the rest of us who had nothing to do with it pay for it? Let the criminal pay.
Plenty of reasons to avoid Coles and Woolworths both controlled through BlackRock supper computer Aladdin which decides what garbage duopoly shoppers are going to eat
Reply to Ed,
Ok thanks Ed,
Have a happy day,
Good health,
Common Sense Phil, CQ
Even better reason to support your local farmers and boycott corporation owned processed poisoned food human feedlots! Otherwise known as Supermarkets
I bet this young lass didn’t buy her steak and eggs from Coles, or American equivalent Walmart!
This cracks me up! She is tucking into half a bullock and a dozen eggs and look at the size of her 😂

hehe… Don’t you just luv how Coles and Woolworths provide us with an opportunity to assist their operations by cutting out their paid check out operators and then jacking up their prices as a thank you to us for our unpaid labour at the checkouts?
Next thing you know we’ll be stacking their shelves for them too so they can double their prices again. Looks like plenty of us are happy to become fools for the sake of our convenience.
And btw, learn to smile for their checkout cameras, folks, make some camera monitor’s day. After all, we’re all part of their local supermarket “family”. lol
Gee whizz! Soros must be running out of money if the Corporates are getting into the act. What happened to that other bastion of social change and justice, the BLM movement? It’s fallen off the radar entirely. Don’t tell me it’s been defunded. 😉
Coles, Bunnings, Westfarmers – Greed – 2019. Coles have 2,500 retail outlets including supermarkets, liquor stores, convenience stores & fuel outlets. They have more than 21 million customers weekly, generating sales of more than $39 billion annually, German automation specialist, Wintron, has been selected to develop two new ambient distribution centres in Q’land, & NSW, FULLY AUTOMATED at a cost of around $1 bill. over 6 years. It will pay out $146 million pre-tax provision for cost of reduncies & existing leases. Steven Cain, the new Coles CEO will be paid $39 mill. just for signing on, with a base salary of $2.1 mill & up to $3.5 mill. in other bonuses. How many people would that employ? Nobody is worth that much money !! This is pure greed !!! They will NEVER get a cent from me !!!
Looks like the Rainbow Unicorns at Coles are getting ready for Trans Visibility Day. Yes. Believe it or not Trans Visibility Day (March 31) is again almost upon us.
This year, the Cis-Gender population Sorry Day (for all the violence and mis-gendering we have perpetrated against the Trans community) will focus on family violence. Perhaps what this calls to mind is the vision dreadful of Granny dead-naming the Trans grandson at his Gender Reveal in front of friends.
Every year the Catholic League (pro Deo et humantati) must take this pure Marxist-Leninism in hand and shepherd the beleagured Cis-Gender folks through it.
Sadly, there is a link between gender fluidity and family violence.
https://www.catholicleague.org/dirty-little-secret-about-trans-violence/
Regarding this violence, Rep. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (another cackling hyena) said this week (March 31, 2023) that “predatory cisgender” people are attacking transgender persons.
“That is a lie.
“The dirty little secret is that trans people are the ones victimizing each other. It is not normal people (the so-called cisgender people—those of us who are comfortable with our father-determined sex) who are the ones attacking trans people. They are doing it to each other.
“Psycom Pro is a psychiatry resource for clinicians, and last year it concluded that “More than half of transgender individuals experience partner violence or gender identity abuse.”…
Is Coles going to take the opportunity of Trans Visibility Day to inform the community about this sorry state of affairs? Hold my Bud Lite.
…
“We know one thing for sure: It is not white, heterosexual Christian men [also known as: Neo-Nazi public enemy No. 1] who are roaming the streets looking for trans people to beat up—it is trans people who are committing the lion’s share of the violence.
“That’s the dirty little secret that the AOC’s on the left don’t want you to know.
“Their demonization of normal men is bad enough, but that it is being employed as a cover up—as a way of deflecting the truth about who the violent ones really are—makes it doubly repugnant.”
Attention Coles: you are ON NOTICE with this Marxist Crack. Stick it anywhere near the aisles with the candy and toys and THERE WILL BE Customers at the customer service desk assisting Low Information Staff with their behaviour and messaging.
dianedraytonbuckland said – “… As I said most of the staff are very nice…”
…which they are, being just ordinary folk like the rest of us, getting ground down into the dirt by the Treasonous genocidal corporatocracy.
I recall a couple years back, before totally boycotting Coles and Woolworths, catching a young Woolworths employee in the self-serve corral as she collapsed in a total faint. Had to sit her there on the floor and go find some other employees to come attend to her, they picked her up and carried her out the back.
This during the forced bioweapon injection of all supermarket employees. Nothing to see here.
And creepy Bill is still on the loose, folks, he’s still free as a bird to release his next “deadly pandemic”. Just like all those executives and bigwigs and unelected beauracrats and public officials and fake corporate “politicians” who exempted themselves from the bioweapon injections that they forced onto everyone else.
And it was indeed a bioweapon assault on the population, folks, managed specifically here in Australia by the Department of Defence, no less. And Snuff Scotty got paid his $52 MILLION Genocide bonus to do the deed.
Best not be forgetting, folks. All those casualties can’t forget, mostly because they’re either dying or dead.

They are also going to sell beef contaminated with bovaer.
Well well well, and at our local alleged pathetic Coles – they don’t have any checkouts open except the self serve which I have never used and will continue to refuse to use and you have to ask for someone to open a check out so you can get served and no one gives a sh*t – you can complain until you are blue in the face but nothing changes.
The staff are mostly very nice but it’s the management and their alleged penny pinching decisions (which I had previously spoken to many people is the reason why so many customers stopped going to our local Coles)……..
Coles you should share the money between Domestic violence victims and open more checkouts at these local ‘unsupermarkets’ where the unservice is atrocious because of management not putting the staff there and you have to call out for someone to serve you. Absolutely bl00dy disgraceful.
As I said most of the staff are very nice.
Men suffer from significantly higher rates of suicide and homelessness. They no longer perform as well as women in secondary and tertiary education. Men are also victims of family violence, but this is largely scoffed at and ignored by the authorities. Men face crushing financial penalties and loss in the majority of divorce and custodial cases before the Family Court, DEI has effectively discriminated against men for decades, the result being that 52 percent of corporate and government executive positions are now held by women. Despite these facts, Coles believes that it is women who need help. Amazing.
