Late night pharmacies in NSW

On Pharmacy Finder, a late-night pharmacy is one listed as open until 8pm or later on at least one weekday (Monday to Friday). Trading hours can still change around public holidays, so call the pharmacy to confirm before making a special trip.

24-hour pharmacies are rare and concentrated in major metro areas. Contact the pharmacy directly to confirm whether it trades overnight.

Pharmacists can give advice on minor ailments, interactions, and over-the-counter options. They cannot write new prescriptions for most medicines outside specific state scope-of-practice pilots. For urgent non-emergency care, Healthdirect on 1800 022 222 is staffed 24 hours.

In limited circumstances, a pharmacist may be able to supply a standard-strength Schedule 4 medicine under the Continued Dispensing arrangements without a new prescription. Eligibility depends on the medicine, the state you are in, and whether you have been stable on it. Call the pharmacy first to check.

Hours are compiled from publicly available sources and pharmacy-supplied details. They can change around public holidays, weather events, or short-notice staffing changes. Always call ahead if you are making a special trip after normal hours.
