Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Brunswick Lake (postcode 3056), a sub-locality within Brunswick in the City of Merri-bek, about 4km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Brunswick Lake and neighbouring Brunswick, Brunswick West, Coburg and Pascoe Vale South, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Brunswick Lake is a sub-locality near Gilpin Park and its lake reserve, a green open space popular with walkers and families in the western part of Brunswick. The area shares the broader Brunswick character — the multicultural Sydney Road corridor, the Italian heritage and the progressive community identity that gave rise to the “People’s Republic of Brunswick” nickname. Brunswick’s community arts gallery, the Counihan Gallery at the Brunswick Town Hall (named after local artist Noel Counihan), is among the suburb’s cultural assets.
