Aldi supermarkets to finally launch delivery in Australia after 25 years: 'This is huge'
Commencing Tuesday July 8, the budget supermarket chain will be trialling on-demand grocery delivery in their Canberra stores, thanks to a new partnership with DoorDash.
While initially disappointing for those outside the capital, the feature is expected to roll out nationally over the next few months.
For now, shoppers in Canberra will be able to shop Aldi's exclusive range of products at the touch of a button - and have their shopping delivered right to their door.
This means no more juggling groceries to keep up with Aldi's notoriously fast in-store cashiers.
The partnership is a first for the budget supermarket chain, which had up until now resisted following other major supermarkets into offering on-demand grocery delivery services.
Aldi Australia's Chief Commercial Officer, Jordan Lack, told FEMAIL that an online shopping delivery feature was something their customers had been requesting for quite some time.
'We know many Aldi shoppers have been eagerly awaiting news from us about adding a delivery service to our offering,' Jordan said.
He confirmed that for the time being, Aldi's availability on DoorDash is temporarily limited to Canberra while the collaboration is in a trial phrase.
But the supermarket CCO assured Aussie shoppers that plans to offer the on-demand delivery service nationally were already well under way and would commence shortly.
'A trial is currently being held in Canberra and we look forward to rolling out our partnership with DoorDash nationally in the coming months,' Jordan said.
'Keep checking the DoorDash app to see when an Aldi store near you is available for delivery.'
Through the app, Canberrans will be able to order more than 1,800 Aldi-stocked products including fresh fruit and vegies, meat, seafood, dairy, bread and household essentials.
To order groceries, all shoppers need to do is download the DoorDash app or visit the website and search for 'Aldi' on the platform.
Customers will then be able to browse through the items available and add them to their online cart to purchase.
Shoppers can decide if they would like their 'on-demand' shopping order to be delivered as soon as possible, or, at a later time window that suits them.
The items will then arrive straight to the customer's door.
Simon Rossi, DoorDash APAC's Vice President said: 'We are thrilled to partner with ALDI to deliver greater convenience, choice and affordability to the people of Canberra.'
'Through this new partnership, we're making it more accessible for shoppers to get their favourite ALDI products delivered directly to their door.'
Outside of Australia, Aldi is already in partnership with DoorDash in the US, offering the on-demand grocery delivery store to American shoppers.
Aldi has been operating in Australia for almost 25-years after opening its first two Sydney stores in 2001.
Unlike its major supermarket competitors Coles and Woolworths, the smaller German-based supermarket chain has tread tentatively into online shopping in Australia.
Just under a year ago, Jordan told the Australian Financial Review that they'd dismantled their online team because the operation costs too greatly affected their product costing structure.
Aldi's CCO explained at the time that they'd opted to prioritise 'value' of cheaper groceries sold in-store 'over convenience' of online shopping.
'The greater concern is the impact on cost structure as fundamentally keeping our costs low has a direct impact on the prices we can offer our customers,' he told the publication.

Australia's Qantas says cyber criminal contacts one week after data breach
July 8 (Reuters) - A cyber criminal has made contact with Australia's Qantas ( opens new tab following a data breach last week that exposed personal information of six million customers, a company spokesperson told Reuters on Tuesday. The hacker had targeted a call centre and gained access to a third-party customer service platform containing the customers' names, email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and frequent flyer numbers. "As this is a criminal matter, we have engaged the Australian Federal Police and won't be commenting any further on the detail of the contact," the spokesperson said, adding there was no evidence stolen data had been released but the company continued monitoring with cyber security experts. The breach represents Australia's most high-profile cyber attack since telecommunications giant Optus and health insurer Medibank ( opens new tab were hit in 2022, incidents that prompted mandatory cyber resilience laws. The latest incident brings unwelcome scrutiny to the country's flag carrier as it seeks to rebuild public trust after its COVID-19 pandemic actions saw it plummet on airline and brand reputation rankings.

Australia news live: Jewish group calls for national anti-hate unit; RBA expected to cut rates
Update: Date: 2025-07-07T20:38:58.000Z Title: Reserve Bank widely tipped to cut rates today Content: Borrowers should be in for some welcome good news today, with the Reserve Bank board widely expected to deliver an interest rate cut at 2:30pm, Sydney time. Financial markets and economists agree that a second straight cut is essentially a done deal, although there's always a chance that the central bank will surprise us all and hold. If they do follow up with a 0.25 percentage-point move lower to 3.6%, it will be the third cut in the RBA's cash rate target, following moves in February and May. Weak household spending and a bigger than expected drop in inflation in May both supported the case for lower rates, economists say, not to mention the looming threat of Donald Trump's trade war. A rate cut today would trim $76 from the monthly interest bill on a $500,000 mortgage, bringing the total benefit of this year's cuts to nearly $230 once lenders pass them on to their customers. Of course, what's good news for existing homeowners is more problematic for would-be homeowners, who are seeing property prices accelerating again as borrowing costs fall. RBA governor Michele Bullock will hold a press conference at 3:30pm where she will no doubt be asked whether we can expect further rate cuts this year. Update: Date: 2025-07-07T20:38:58.000Z Title: Welcome Content: Good morning and welcome to our live news blog. I'm Martin Farrer with the best overnight stories before Rafqa Touma picks up the news baton. The Reserve Bank's monetary policy committee meets in Sydney today and it is widely expected by economists and analysts to conclude with a decision to cut interest rates by 0.25%. We have more coming up, plus the news when it happens at 2.30pm. Australia's leading Jewish group has stepped up its calls for a stronger government response to the alleged arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne by calling for a national unit to combat hate crimes. More coming up. The copyright case brought against Nine by the fiance of Bondi Junction stabbing victim Dawn Singleton over its use of a photograph of the dead woman in an edition of 60 Minutes ended last night with a judgment in favour of defendants on the eve of the trial. More coming up.
