This table summarises the key facts about both Chemist Warehouse locations in Nowra at a glance.

What is the address of Chemist Warehouse in Nowra?

Both Chemist Warehouse stores in Nowra are easy to find. The Junction Street location is inside The Main Arcade, while the Nowra Lane store sits just off the main strip. Two addresses, one for each side of town.

Junction Street store

Nowra Lane store

  • 5 Nowra Lane, NOWRA NSW 2541 (Healthdirect (Australian Government health service))
  • This second location is a short walk from the main shopping area.
The trade-off

Nowra Lane gives you a quieter experience and likely faster service, but Junction Street has more foot traffic and a wider selection of over-the-counter products on display.

The pattern is simple: two stores, two catchment areas. For locals near the river end of town, Nowra Lane is the shorter drive; for those in North Nowra or Bomaderry, Junction Street is more convenient.

What are the opening hours for Chemist Warehouse Nowra?

Hours differ between the two stores, and they vary by day. Wednesday samples show one clear difference: Junction Street opens at 8am, Nowra Lane at 8:30am. Both close at 6-7pm on weekdays.

Standard store hours

  • Junction Street: Wednesday hours 8am–7pm (Healthdirect (Australian Government health service))
  • Nowra Lane: Wednesday hours 8:30am–6pm (Healthdirect (Australian Government health service))
  • Weekend and public holiday hours may vary — check directly before visiting.

Public holiday hours

Public holiday schedules are not consistently published online. It’s safest to call ahead (Friendly Faces Directory (local pharmacy directory)) or check the Chemist Warehouse website on the day.

Why this matters

If you need a prescription filled after 6pm on a weekday, Junction Street is your only option — Nowra Lane closes earlier. That extra hour can be the difference between getting your medication today and waiting until tomorrow.

The implication: Junction Street runs longer hours, making it the better bet for after-work pharmacy runs. Nowra Lane suits early morning drop-ins.

What is the phone number for Chemist Warehouse Nowra?

Each store has its own phone number, and you can also reach Nowra Lane by email.

Where is Chemist Warehouse South Nowra located?

Some residents refer to the Junction Street store as “South Nowra” due to its position near the river. The address is the same: The Main Arcade, Shop 1-6, 83-87 Junction Street.

Exact address for Junction Street

Shop 1-6, 83-87 Junction Street, NOWRA NSW 2541. The store is located within The Main Arcade shopping complex. Look for the chemist warehouse signage facing Junction Street. (Healthdirect (Australian Government health service))

Getting directions in Google Maps

For directions, open Google Maps and search “Chemist Warehouse Nowra Junction Street.” The pin will drop at 83-87 Junction Street. For Nowra Lane, search “Chemist Warehouse Nowra Lane.” (Google Maps (mapping service))

The pattern: both stores are within a 5-minute drive of each other, so choosing one over the other is more about proximity to your home or errand route.

What products are available at Chemist Warehouse Nowra?

Both stores carry the standard Chemist Warehouse range: prescription medicines, over-the-counter remedies, fragrances, vitamins, beauty products, and baby care. Stock may vary between locations due to floor space.

Prescription medicines

Both stores operate full-service pharmacies. You can bring in a script from any doctor and have it filled while you wait. PBS prescriptions are accepted. (Healthdirect (Australian Government health service))

Fragrances

The Junction Street store has a larger fragrance display due to more floor space. Popular brands include Chanel, Dior, and Calvin Klein. Nowra Lane has a smaller but curated selection.

Vitamins and supplements

Both locations stock Swisse, Blackmores, Nature’s Own, and Chemist Warehouse’s own brand. Look for weekly specials on multivitamins and protein powders.

Beauty and baby care products

Beauty lines include L’Oréal, Garnier, and Maybelline. Baby care covers nappies (Huggies, Pampers), wipes, and feeding accessories. (Chemist Warehouse (official corporate site))

The catch

Store-level inventory isn’t published online, so calling ahead for specific items — especially niche fragrances or baby formula — is recommended, particularly for the Nowra Lane store which has limited shelf space.

For the Nowra resident picking up a repeat script or hunting for a last-minute gift, the decision comes down to timing and proximity. Junction Street wins on hours; Nowra Lane wins on convenience and email accessibility.
