This October, Coles proudly celebrated Indigenous Business Month by welcoming a range of Indigenous businesses into our Store Support Centre in Tooronga. In line with this year’s theme, Strength Through Collaboration, we’re committed to creating meaningful partnerships that drive shared value. As one of Australia’s largest retailers, we’re focused on strengthening relationships with Indigenous businesses across our supply chain and communities. Thank you to all the incredible businesses who joined us and to our team members who showed up across the days. We’re proud to support Indigenous-led enterprise and continue building relationships that matter.

This award recognises not only business success but also honours the strength, leadership, and compassion demonstrated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in business. Kerry was nominated alongside some incredible First Nations women - Elizabeth Liddle, Sharon Brindley, and Tory O'Brien. Congratulations to all the nominees and award winners! And thanks to Kinaway-The Victorian Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce for hosting such an incredible event, and Multiplex Australia for sponsoring the Sistas in Business award. #Karabena #First1000DaysAustralia #IlanStyle #Kinaway #SistasInBusiness #WomenInBusiness #FirstNationsWomen

What an inspiring night! Here's a snapshot of the Victorian Honour Roll of Women induction celebration, where our Managing Director Kerry Arabena was inducted as a Change Agent. "I honour my fellow inductees. You bring skill, courage, and creativity to your work. We are here because our lives are guided by enduring principles of courage, collective work and action and standing firm in integrity. Many of us are curious too. "To everyone here tonight, keep questioning. Stay curious. Avoid the weight of expectations. But, more importantly, keep loving yourselves. Make time for your passions, pursuits, visions, and dreams. Be enough—and in that enoughness, find abundance." Huge congratulations to all the women honoured this week. Thanks to Victorian Department of Families, Fairness & Housing for running such an incredible event to celebrate these wonderful women. #HonourHer #CelebrateVicWomen #KerryArabena #Karabena #KarabenaConsulting #First1000DaysAustralia #IlanStyle First 1000 Days Australia Ilan Style

This week our Managing Director Professor Kerry Arabena was inducted to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women as a Change Agent. The Honour Roll recognises women who demonstrate leadership, excellence, and a deep commitment to community. Since its establishment in 2001, just over 750 women have been inducted, representing a proud lineage of women whose contributions continue to shape Victoria. Kerry was recognised for her work spanning community-controlled organisations, statutory authorities, academia, and business. In her acceptance speech she honoured the other inductees, who each bring their own unique courage, strength, and ambition to making Victoria a better place for women. "We are part of a continuum of Victorian women whose leadership has left its mark in ways that may not always be recognised in the moment, but are impossible to ignore over time." “Be enough—and in that enoughness, find abundance.” Join us in congratulating Kerry and all the other remarkable women who were inducted into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women!
