Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Avondale Heights (postcode 3034), a residential suburb in the City of Moonee Valley, about 10km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD on the Maribyrnong River. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Avondale Heights and neighbouring Essendon West, Aberfeldie, Keilor East and Sunshine North, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Avondale Heights was formerly known as Braybrook Village and is believed to derive its current name from Avondale House and Estate in County Wicklow, Ireland. The suburb developed as a postwar residential community — the local post office opened in December 1957 — as Melbourne’s north-western growth spread out along the Maribyrnong River corridor. The suburb has limited train access but is well connected via the Western Ring Road and the Calder and Tullamarine Freeways, and the Maribyrnong River and its trail form the suburb’s eastern boundary.
