Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Ascot Vale (postcode 3032), a residential suburb in the City of Moonee Valley, about 4km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Ascot Vale and neighbouring Flemington, Moonee Ponds, Travancore and Kensington, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Ascot Vale takes its name from the Royal Ascot racecourse in England — the horse-racing connection was apt for a suburb directly abutting the Flemington Racecourse. Settlement began in the 1880s and the suburb developed rapidly during the land boom era, giving rise to the Victorian-era terrace houses and ornate brick homes that still line many of its streets today. The Highpoint Shopping Centre is a major local landmark and one of Australia’s largest retail centres.
