Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Carrum (postcode 3197), a bayside suburb in the City of Kingston, about 35km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD at the mouth of the Patterson River. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Carrum and neighbouring Patterson Lakes, Bonbeach, Chelsea and Seaford, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Carrum sits at the mouth of the Patterson River — the busiest boat-launching facility in Victoria — where the river meets Port Phillip Bay, making it a popular destination for boating, fishing and recreation. The suburb’s name derives from an Aboriginal word. Racehorses from Carrum’s foreshore training area contributed to a remarkable roll call of champions over the decades, while today a new international-standard sculpture trail is taking shape along the Patterson River between Carrum, Patterson Lakes and Bonbeach.
