Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Chatham (postcode 3101), a locality in Kew within the City of Boroondara, about 10km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Chatham and neighbouring Kew, Hawthorn, Balwyn and Richmond, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Chatham is a locality in the Kew and Hawthorn precinct of Melbourne’s inner east — Chatham Street and the surrounding residential streets form part of a gracious neighbourhood of established gardens, period architecture and tree-lined footpaths that characterise this part of Boroondara. Kew’s position above the Yarra Valley means that many streets in this locality enjoy leafy outlooks across parkland and reserves, including the Yarra Bend Park — one of Melbourne’s finest urban nature reserves — which provides kilometres of walking and cycling trails along the Yarra River’s eastern bank through native bushland. The Kew precinct is served by excellent public and private schools, boutique shopping along Cotham Road and High Street, and tram connections providing easy access to Melbourne’s CBD. The suburb’s heritage character, proximity to the city and quality community facilities make it one of Melbourne’s most enduring residential favourites.
