Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Beacon Cove (postcode 3207), a modern harbourside residential precinct in the City of Port Phillip, about 4km south-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Beacon Cove and neighbouring Port Melbourne, South Melbourne and Albert Park, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Beacon Cove is a planned waterfront estate developed from the late 1990s on the former Port Melbourne railway yard and beach frontage, centred on a marina with walking trails, landscaped public spaces and a commercial village. The Beacon Cove lighthouse — a modern design referencing Port Melbourne’s maritime heritage — sits near the beach access where the former Spirit of Tasmania ferry once berthed, giving the precinct its distinctive character on Port Phillip Bay.
