Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Chelsea (postcode 3196), a seaside suburb in the City of Kingston, about 32km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Frankston rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Chelsea and neighbouring Chelsea Heights, Bonbeach, Edithvale and Carrum, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Chelsea is named after the London borough, and the Chelsea and District Historical Society — established in 1963 — has been preserving the suburb’s coastal history for over six decades. One of Kingston’s most popular stretches of Port Phillip beach, Chelsea Beach runs along the foreshore between the creek at Edithvale and the Carrum boat ramp, drawing visitors from across Melbourne year-round. The suburb is linked to an international sculpture trail at the Patterson River and the broader bayside arts and community life of Kingston’s southern suburbs.
