Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Bangholme (postcode 3175), an industrial and semi-rural locality within the City of Kingston, about 27km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Bangholme and neighbouring Dandenong South, Keysborough, Aspendale Gardens and Carrum, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Bangholme is a locality in Melbourne’s south-east where Edithvale Road and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway corridor intersect, positioned between the industrial precincts of Dandenong South and the bayside residential communities of Aspendale Gardens and Chelsea. The area is notable for the Bangholme wetlands and the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands complex to its west — one of Victoria’s most important coastal wetland systems and a Ramsar-listed site of international significance for migratory shorebirds that travel from the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Asia to overwinter in south-east Australia. These wetlands are extraordinary ecological assets on Melbourne’s southern fringe, providing a critical staging post for tens of thousands of birds each year. The Mornington Peninsula Freeway provides fast road connections from Bangholme south to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula and north to Dandenong and the eastern suburbs, making the locality conveniently accessible for home nursing care.
