Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Carlton North (postcode 3054), an inner suburb in the City of Melbourne, about 3km north of the CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Carlton North and neighbouring Carlton, Fitzroy North, Parkville and North Melbourne, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Carlton North sits at the upper end of the Lygon Street corridor, maintaining Carlton’s distinct character — defined by its Italian migrant heritage, the University of Melbourne’s campus, and the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building — while shading into the more residential streets north of Alexandra Parade. The suburb’s heritage Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses have been well-preserved, and Princes Park — one of Melbourne’s largest inner-city parks, home to the North Melbourne Football Club’s former home ground — borders the suburb to the west.
About Wattletree Health Group
