Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Boronia (postcode 3155), a residential suburb in the City of Knox, about 28km east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Belgrave rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Boronia and neighbouring Bayswater, Ferntree Gully, Knoxfield and The Basin, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Boronia is named after the native boronia flower — one of Victoria’s most fragrant wildflowers — which once carpeted the bushland of this area. For many decades the suburb was dramatically split in two by the Belgrave railway line running at grade through the main shopping strip, creating a notorious level crossing at Boronia Road; in 1998, the railway was taken underground beneath the road, finally uniting the two halves of the suburb. Boronia’s shopping precinct along Boronia Road and Chandler Road has been the commercial heart of the Knox hills community ever since.
