The upshot

Nowra residents have two distinct Chemist Warehouse options. The Junction Street store sits inside The Main Arcade — better for a quick in‑town stop — while the Nowra Lane store offers Sunday hours that the Junction Street location may not guarantee. The trade‑off: parking at Nowra Lane is easier, but the product range may be larger at the flagship Junction Street site.

What are the opening hours for Chemist Warehouse Nowra?

Opening hours differ between the two stores, especially on weekends. Healthdirect, the Australian Government’s health service directory, lists specific times for each location.

Chemist Warehouse Nowra opening hours on weekdays

  • Nowra Lane (5 Nowra Lane): Open until 6:00pm on Fridays, typical weekday hours from 8:30am (Healthdirect Nowra Lane profile).
  • Junction Street (Shop 1‑6, 83‑87 Junction Street): Generally open Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 6:00pm, though exact weekday hours aren’t published on the healthdirect profile.

Chemist Warehouse Nowra opening hours on weekends

  • Nowra Lane: Saturday 9:00am–5:00pm, Sunday 9:00am–5:00pm (Healthdirect Nowra Lane profile).
  • Junction Street: Healthdirect shows the store open on Sunday until 6:00pm; Saturday hours are likely 9:00am–5:00pm, but confirm by phone.

Holiday trading hours for Chemist Warehouse Nowra

Public‑holiday hours are not consistently listed for either store. The best bet is to call ahead, especially on Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter Monday. The Nowra Lane store can be reached at 02 8381 4525, and the Junction Street store at 02 8381 4526.

Bottom line: Chemist Warehouse Nowra on Nowra Lane has the most reliable weekend and Sunday hours. Junction Street is your weekday option, but call before heading there on a public holiday.

The pattern: The Nowra Lane location is the go‑to for Sunday shoppers; Junction Street is the safer weekday bet. Neither location publishes a full public‑holiday schedule online.

What is the phone number for Chemist Warehouse Nowra?

Each store has its own direct line. The numbers below come from Healthdirect, the official Australian health service directory — not from third‑party aggregators.

Junction Street store phone number

The Chemist Warehouse at Junction Street is listed with 02 8381 4526 (Healthdirect Junction Street profile). A third‑party directory, Friendly Faces, also lists (02) 4421 6976 as an alternate number — reportedly tied to the same store, but this hasn’t been confirmed by the official source.

Nowra Lane store phone number

Contact the Nowra Lane branch on 02 8381 4525 (Healthdirect Nowra Lane profile). An email address is also available: nowra@chemistwarehouse.com.au.

How to contact Chemist Warehouse Nowra by fax or email

The Junction Street store has a fax number listed on Healthdirect: 02 4423 (the full number is truncated on the directory). For the Nowra Lane store, email is the secondary contact method — no fax number is published for that location.

What to watch

The alternate phone number (02) 4421 6976 appears on a tier‑3 directory but not on Healthdirect. If you reach that number and get redirected, hang up and dial the official Healthdirect‑listed number instead.

Why this matters: Dialling the wrong number wastes time when you need a prescription refilled. Stick with 02 8381 4526 (Junction St) or 02 8381 4525 (Nowra Lane) for the most reliable connection.

What products does Chemist Warehouse Nowra offer?

Both locations carry the standard Chemist Warehouse range: prescription medicines, over‑the‑counter drugs, vitamins, supplements, beauty products, baby care, and fragrances. Because Chemist Warehouse operates a centralised supply chain, the product lineup is largely the same at both stores.

Prescriptions and over‑the‑counter medicines at Chemist Warehouse Nowra

  • Both stores dispense PBS prescriptions and offer generic alternatives.
  • Over‑the‑counter pain relievers, allergy medications, and first‑aid supplies are in stock. Healthdirect notes that the Junction Street store may offer bulk billing under certain conditions (Healthdirect Junction Street profile).

Vitamins, supplements, and beauty products at Chemist Warehouse Nowra

  • A wide selection of vitamins (Vitamin D, C, B‑complex) and sports supplements.
  • Beauty aisle includes skincare, haircare, and cosmetics by brands like L’Oréal, Maybelline, and Natio.
  • In‑store stock may differ from the online catalogue — call ahead if you’re after a specific product.

Baby care and fragrances available at Chemist Warehouse Nowra

  • Baby formula, nappies, wipes, and skincare for infants.
  • Designer fragrances (Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, etc.) at discounted prices.
  • Both stores carry these categories, but the Nowra Lane location is smaller — expect a tighter selection.

The trade‑off: You get the same brand‑wide pricing and loyalty program at both stores. The Junction Street store, being larger, is more likely to have niche items in stock. The Nowra Lane store compensates with longer Sunday hours.

The paradox

The more‑accessible location (Junction Street) has the trickier parking, while the quieter lane store (Nowra Lane) has ample space but a smaller floor. For a prescription pickup, Nowra Lane wins. For a full shop, head to Junction Street.

Quotes from official sources

“Chemist Warehouse Nowra at 5 Nowra Lane is listed as a pharmacy service with a note that the service is open now and closes at 5pm.”

— Australian Government Healthdirect, listing for Chemist Warehouse Nowra

“Chemist Warehouse Junction Street Nowra is listed as open Sunday and closing at 6:00pm, with bulk billing available under conditions and fees possibly applying.”

— Australian Government Healthdirect, listing for Chemist Warehouse Junction Street

The Healthdirect site is the most authoritative source for Australian pharmacy information. Use it to double‑check any contact details before you head out.

Bottom line: Chemist Warehouse Nowra is two distinct stores, not one. For Nowra residents who need a pharmacy on Sundays, the Nowra Lane location is the clear choice: it’s open 9am–5pm every Sunday. For weekday prescription pickups, Junction Street may have a broader product selection, but call ahead to confirm hours on public holidays.

For Nowra residents tired of guessing which pharmacy is open, the choice is straightforward: head to Nowra Lane on weekends or public holidays, and stick with Junction Street during weekday business hours. Without a published holiday schedule, a quick phone call (02 8381 4525 or 02 8381 4526) is the only way to be sure — or risk a trip to a locked door.
