Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Chirnside Park (postcode 3116), a well-established residential suburb in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, about 35km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Chirnside Park and neighbouring Mooroolbark, Croydon Hills, Lilydale and Wonga Park, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Chirnside Park is named after George Chirnside — a Scottish pastoralist who settled the Werribee district in the 1850s and built the iconic Werribee Park mansion — reflecting the extensive pastoral interests of the Chirnside family across Victoria’s western and eastern districts. The suburb was among the significant growth areas of the western Yarra Ranges from the 1960s through the 1980s and is now a well-established residential community, home to Chirnside Park Shopping Centre. The Shire of Yarra Ranges wards named “Chirnside Ward” commemorates the Chirnside family’s historical connection to the region. Chirnside Park is the closest residential suburb of the Yarra Ranges to Melbourne and is served by bus connections to the Lilydale railway station.
