Target Australia
Wesfarmers era
In February 2016, Wesfarmers restructured Target and Kmart under a single department stores division known as the Kmart Group, headed by Kmart managing director Guy Russo. An accounting scandal that created $21 million in fraudulent profits was reported on 11 April 2016. Although it is not believed CEO Stuart Machin orchestrated or ordered the accounting irregularities, he took the blame for the scandal and departed Target.
Wesfarmers era
In July 2023, Wesfarmers announced it would reorganise Target and Kmart internally and run them as one combined business.
