Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Aberfeldie (postcode 3040), a well-established residential suburb in the City of Moonee Valley, about 8km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD on the Maribyrnong River. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Aberfeldie and neighbouring Essendon, Essendon West, Moonee Ponds and Avondale Heights, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Aberfeldie was substantially developed in the inter-war period alongside Essendon, its streetscapes characterised by Edwardian and Californian Bungalow homes near its eastern Waverley Street edge, and postwar brick veneers further west toward the Maribyrnong River. After the Second World War the Housing Commission of Victoria developed 150 bungalows here, contributing to the suburb’s social diversity. The Maribyrnong River and its trail form the suburb’s western boundary, giving residents access to riverside parkland and cycling routes connecting the northern suburbs to the inner city.
