Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Brunswick East (postcode 3057), an inner-northern suburb in the City of Merri-bek, about 4km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD beside Merri Creek. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Brunswick East and neighbouring Brunswick, Fitzroy North, Carlton North and Clifton Hill, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Brunswick East borders Merri Creek on its eastern side and has a quieter character than the busier Sydney Road corridor in Brunswick proper, with Lygon Street extending northward through the suburb as its main commercial spine. The suburb shares Brunswick’s strong Italian migrant heritage from the 1950s — the Italian Historical Society preserves the history of the families and businesses that shaped the area. The Merri Creek trail provides a popular cycling and walking route through the suburb’s eastern edge.
