The station serves NSW TrainLink diesel multiple unit trains travelling south to Bomaderry and north to Kiama.

The town was initially served by both the main Gerringong Station and a smaller, unmanned stop called Omega, two kilometres to the north.

The opening of the railway dramatically improved local producers' access to the lucrative Sydney market, so the then Gerringong Co-Operative Dairy Society moved its operations to a site neighbouring the station in 1908.

Since 2001, northbound trains from Gerringong terminate at Kiama, requiring passengers to change to electric multiple unit services to Wollongong and Sydney.

In 2005, then Minister for Transport John Watkins announced that electrification would be extended to the terminus at Bomaderry at an unspecified future date, but the proposal did not progress.
