Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Belgrave (postcode 3160), the gateway township to the Dandenong Ranges within the Yarra Ranges Shire, about 40km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Belgrave and neighbouring Tecoma, Upwey, Belgrave Heights and Selby, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Belgrave is one of Melbourne’s most beloved outer-eastern destinations, best known as the terminus of both the metropolitan Belgrave rail line and the iconic Puffing Billy steam railway — one of Australia’s most celebrated narrow-gauge heritage railways, which departs from Belgrave station and winds through the spectacular Dandenong Ranges landscape to Emerald and Gembrook. Puffing Billy carries hundreds of thousands of passengers each year and is one of Victoria’s most photographed and cherished tourist experiences, a living piece of Australia’s transport heritage that has operated in the Ranges since 1900. Belgrave’s main street has a vibrant, community-oriented character with independent cafes, galleries, bookshops and organic food stores that reflect the Ranges community’s progressive and arts-conscious character. The Dandenong Ranges National Park, including the Sherbrooke Forest and its famous superb lyrebird population, begins immediately to the north of Belgrave, and the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk is accessible from the town.
