According to police, the fight happened about 10.30pm on June 12.
Police were already at the hotel on an unrelated matter and spoke to the women.
After reviewing CCTV footage from the hotel, police last week charged a 24-year-old female policing student with affray, alleging she punched another woman multiple times.
The woman's professional suitability as a policing student has been suspended.
On Sunday, police also charged a 22-year-old woman over the fight. Both women will attend Wollongong Local Court on August 22.
The hotel's Ryan Atchison said they were providing police with CCTV footage and witness statements.
"We rarely have incidences of violence here at the pub so we're gutted such a fun night saw this exchange take place," he said.
"The Wollongong CBD has a zero tolerance for this type of behaviour and all aggressors are looking at a ban across the precinct."
