Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Blackburn South (postcode 3130), a residential suburb in the City of Whitehorse, about 17km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Blackburn South and neighbouring Blackburn, Box Hill South, Mitcham and Nunawading, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Blackburn South sits at the southern end of Blackburn, sharing the suburb’s character as an established postwar residential area that developed significantly through the 1950s and 1960s. The suburb borders the Mitcham area, and both Blackburn Lake Sanctuary to the north and the Yarran Dheran Nature Reserve on Gardiners Creek to the south provide important wildlife corridors through the middle of suburban Whitehorse. Nunawading station on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines is nearby to the east.
