Department Stores in Australia

Australian department stores including Myer, David Jones, Kmart, Target, and Big W — stocking clothing, homewares, electronics, beauty, and seasonal products at full-price and discount retail.

Full-price department stores Myer and David Jones operate in major shopping centres across Australia, offering fashion, homewares, beauty, and food. Both have extensive online stores with same-day delivery in capital cities.

Discount department stores Kmart, Target, and Big W compete on value pricing across the same categories. Kmart in particular has grown its Australian footprint and built a strong private-label product range.

Online marketplaces like Amazon Australia and The Iconic have added competitive pressure to department stores by offering broader ranges, faster delivery, and easy returns — reshaping how Australians shop across categories.
