Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Ashwood (postcode 3147), a leafy residential suburb within the City of Monash, about 14km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Ashwood and neighbouring Chadstone, Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley and Burwood East, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Ashwood is a quiet, established residential suburb in Melbourne’s inner south-east, characterised by wide, tree-lined streets, well-maintained homes from the post-war era, and a community character that reflects decades of stable, family-oriented living. The suburb shares the 3147 postcode with nearby Jordanville and Chadstone, and residents benefit from the exceptional retail access of Chadstone Shopping Centre — the southern hemisphere’s largest — just a short drive away. The Ashwood/Holmesglen TAFE campus is a significant community and education asset on the suburb’s eastern boundary, drawing students from across Melbourne’s south-east. Gardiner Creek Trail — a popular off-road cycling and walking path that connects the inner south-east suburbs from Glen Waverley to the Yarra River — passes through the Ashwood area, providing excellent active transport and recreational connections. Holmesglen and Jordanville stations on the Alamein rail line provide CBD connections.
