Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Auburn (postcode 3122), a leafy inner-east suburb in Boroondara, about 8km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Auburn and neighbouring Hawthorn, Camberwell, Kew and Surrey Hills, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Auburn is one of Melbourne’s most elegant inner-east localities, centred on the iconic Auburn Road shopping strip — a tree-lined precinct of independent bookshops, café culture, gourmet food stores and boutiques that has for decades been regarded as one of Melbourne’s finest neighbourhood shopping streets. The suburb sits within Boroondara, one of Melbourne’s most sought-after council areas, characterised by wide boulevards, Federation and Edwardian architecture, private school campuses and mature street plantings of plane and elm trees. The Yarra River and Willsmere parklands provide a green escape nearby, and the Camberwell and Hawthorn train stations on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines provide frequent rail connections to the CBD. Auburn Village’s independent retail character and intimate community feel make it one of Melbourne’s most beloved inner suburbs.
