About after-hours pharmacy access in New South Wales
Community pharmacy in NSW is regulated nationally by the Pharmacy Board of Australia under the National Law, with practice standards published by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. Opening hours, however, are set by each pharmacy operator. A small number of New South Wales pharmacies are open 24 hours a day, while a larger group operate extended hours, typically until 10pm, 11pm, or midnight, including weekends and public holidays.
Hours, addresses, and services vary by pharmacy. The Healthdirect Service Finder is the federal directory and should be checked for current opening hours before travelling.
Need a script first? Telehealth fits between you and the pharmacy
Many people searching for an after-hours pharmacy in NSW actually need a script to be issued first. A NewDoc telehealth consult is bulk billed for eligible Medicare patients and any prescription is sent to your phone as an eScript, usually within minutes of the call ending. You can take that eScript to any open pharmacy in New South Wales, including any of the after-hours options listed above.
- Repeat prescriptions that have run out
- A new script for a urinary tract infection or other common acute issue
- Renewal of contraception, asthma inhaler, blood pressure, or cholesterol medication
- A medical certificate to cover the time off work or school
All NewDoc consultations are conducted by FRACGP-qualified General Practitioners, at no out-of-pocket cost for eligible Medicare patients. See the New South Wales bulk billed telehealth page for details.
Need a script first? See a GP from home.
Bulk billed telehealth with a FRACGP-qualified GP. Your eScript is sent to your phone, ready for any Australian pharmacy to dispense.

Frequently asked questions
How many 24-hour pharmacies are in New South Wales?
This page lists 2 pharmacies in New South Wales that are documented as open 24 hours, every day of the year. The full picture changes over time as operators adjust hours, so the Healthdirect Service Finder is the authoritative source for current openings.
Are after-hours pharmacies more expensive in NSW?
Pharmacies are private businesses and pricing is set by each operator. After-hours pharmacies are generally not more expensive for PBS-listed prescription medications, where the maximum patient co-payment is set by the federal Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and indexed annually by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Some over-the-counter or non-PBS items may have different pricing.
Can a NewDoc telehealth eScript be dispensed at any NSW pharmacy?
Yes. eScripts are SMS or email tokens containing a QR code. Any pharmacy in Australia, including any after-hours or 24-hour pharmacy in New South Wales, can scan the token and dispense your medication. There is no need to nominate a specific pharmacy when your GP issues the script.
When should I go to a NSW emergency department instead of a pharmacy?
Call 000 or go to your nearest emergency department for anything that could be life-threatening, including chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, severe burns, loss of consciousness, signs of stroke, suspected poisoning, or a serious head injury. Pharmacies and pharmacists are not equipped for emergencies.
Where can I find an up-to-date list of NSW pharmacy hours?
Healthdirect Australia runs a national service finder that lists pharmacies and current hours by suburb or postcode for the whole of Australia, including New South Wales. It is the most comprehensive single-source directory.
Can a pharmacist in New South Wales prescribe medication?
New South Wales operates a pharmacist prescribing pilot through NSW Health, allowing participating pharmacists to prescribe for a defined list of conditions. Outside this pilot scope, an eScript from a GP, including a NewDoc telehealth GP, is the standard path for any other prescription medication in New South Wales.
