The supermarket is rolling out an $80 “basic box” of groceries and will use Australia Post and other distribution channels to get orders to isolated people faster.
The box includes meals, snacks and a few essential items, and can’t be customised.
It will be available online from this week in the ACT, New South Wales and Victoria.
Other states will be added in coming weeks.
Orders should arrive in two to five working days and phone support will be available for people who are not comfortable ordering online.
The service includes contactless doorstep delivery by Australia Post and Woolworths has said it won’t be making a profit from the initiative.
Woolworths says people who can shop for families or friends who are isolated should do so, to limit demand on the online service.
“There will be some in our community who don’t have that option, and we need your help to put the most vulnerable first,” Woolworths Group CEO Brad Banducci said in a statement on Monday.
Woolworths has been offering priority assistance home deliveries since March 13, to help the elderly, those with disabilities, and those in mandatory isolation.
Customers can apply for priority assistance online.
