Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Auburn South (postcode 3123), a leafy inner-east locality within the City of Boroondara, about 9km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Auburn South and neighbouring Hawthorn East, Camberwell, Auburn and Glen Iris, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Auburn South is the residential precinct south of Auburn Road in Hawthorn East, an area that exemplifies the quiet, established character of Melbourne’s inner east. Auburn Road has long been known as a premier local shopping strip — a compact stretch of independent butchers, patisseries, delicatessens and specialty food retailers that maintains a village-like atmosphere in the heart of Boroondara. The area’s leafy streets are lined with Federation and Edwardian houses on substantial allotments, and the proximity of Auburn station on the Alamein rail line offers easy commuting options to the CBD. Riversdale Park provides recreational open space nearby, and Camberwell’s thriving commercial centre on Burke Road is just minutes away.
