North Wollongong is a railway station on the South Coast Line of the CityRail outer suburban network, serving the suburb of North Wollongong. The station consists of two side platforms. It receives, on average, two services per hour on weekdays (with more services during peak hours) and one per hour on weekends.

The station is unofficially also identified on its platforms as the University of Wollongong station, due to the proximity of the university to the station. Many signs at the station did contain a spelling mistake, erroneously referring to the nearby Illawarra Institute of Technology as an "Insitute". This signage was corrected during trackwork in late January, 2009.

An easy access upgrade has been completed in 2007 on this site, consisting of lifts, new ramps, stairs and toilet facilities.

According to the Proposed 2010 Timetable, extra Peak Hour Express trains to/from the South Coast will stop at North Wollongong Station, as well as all weekend express trains to Sydney. This will see North Wollongong Station is receiving two trains per hour on the weekends by the end of 2010.

Express buses will operate to Waterfall/Central Non-stop in case of Trackwork. Replacement bus stops are located on the Princes Highway, east of the station.
