Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Airport West (postcode 3042), a suburban centre in the City of Moonee Valley, about 12km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD near Melbourne Airport. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Airport West and neighbouring Niddrie, Essendon West, Essendon North and Avondale Heights, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Airport West developed as a car-centred postwar community built around the Keilor Road and Matthews Avenue corridor near Essendon Airport, attracting industry, businesses and housing from the 1950s. The suburb is home to the famous Skyways Hotel — opened in 1960 and long a landmark for aviation enthusiasts and locals alike — and the Westfield Airport West shopping centre, which opened in the 1970s. The Tullamarine Freeway and Western Ring Road provide fast connections to Melbourne Airport and Melbourne’s CBD, making Airport West one of the better-connected outer north-western suburbs for car-based commuters.
