Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Bulla (postcode 3428), a small historic township in the City of Hume, about 30km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Bulla and neighbouring Sunbury, Diggers Rest, Tullamarine and Wildwood, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Bulla is one of the oldest European settlements in Victoria’s north-west corridor, a tiny historic township on the Jacksons Creek that has retained its rural and heritage character despite being surrounded on all sides by Melbourne’s expanding metropolitan fringe. The Bulla township features a heritage-listed hotel, cemetery and the remnants of early pastoral settlement dating to the 1830s and 1840s, when this area was part of the pastoral expansion that followed John Batman’s arrival in Port Phillip. The Jacksons Creek flows through Bulla en route to its dramatic gorge at Sunbury, and the rich volcanic soils of the surrounding plains have supported agriculture and grazing for nearly two centuries. Melbourne Airport lies just a few kilometres to the east, making Bulla one of the closest rural communities to the airport precinct, and the Calder Freeway provides direct road access to Melbourne’s CBD.
