Israa, a 42-year-old woman from Iraq, sought asylum in Australia in 2012. As an asylum seeker, she was not permitted to work and only had access to six weeks of English courses. Language was a major hurdle for Israa, who desperately wanted to give back to the community which had taken her in.

In June 2018, we phased out the use of single use plastic shopping bags nationally. This was a big change for our customers and our teams, and it has taken time to adjust, but thanks to our collective efforts, more than three billion single use plastic bags have now been removed from the environment. Our 99c ‘Bag for Good’ was launched as part of our reusable bag offer, and funds from the sale of these bags go towards the Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants program.
The first Woolworths Junior Landcare Grants were awarded in early 2019, when 538 primary schools and early learning centres across the country received a grant of up to $1,000 each to support the delivery of environmental projects.
