(Steven Markham/AAP PHOTOS)Coles confirmed it will outsource office jobs in a deal with consultancy Accenture.
The Australian Services Union slammed the announcement, saying the plan echoed a recent move by Woolworths to send finance, HR and IT roles to India and the Philippines.
"Coles wants you to believe sending hundreds of Australian jobs to India is about 'seamless, personalised digital experiences'," ASU assistant national secretary Scott Cowen said in a statement.
The company claimed it would remain a net creator of Australian jobs as store numbers continued to grow.
