Sexual Health - Port Kembla
Overview
Pharmacy closure at Port Kembla Hospital
The Port Kembla Hospital Pharmacy has closed as the site prepares for the construction of a new Community Health Centre. All patient scripts have been transferred to Wollongong Hospital Pharmacy. If you need your medication made up, please call Wollongong Hospital Pharmacy on ph: 02 4222 5340 and arrange this with Pharmacy staff. Wollongong Pharmacy requires a minimum of 3 days’ notice for outpatient collection. If you are unable to collect from Wollongong or Shellharbour Hospital you can opt to have it sent to the clinic for you to pick up. Alternatively, you can contact our clinic on ph: 02 4223 8457 and request a new prescription that you can take to a Community Pharmacy and organise your own medication. Our clinic requires 48 hours’ notice for a new script to be written. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us so that we can assist you further.
