Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Christmas Hills (postcode 3775), a small rural locality in Melbourne’s outer north-east within the Nillumbik Shire, about 35km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Christmas Hills and neighbouring Kangaroo Ground, Watsons Creek, Panton Hill and Research, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Christmas Hills is a small and peaceful rural locality in the Nillumbik Shire, set in the forested and farm-scattered hills between Kangaroo Ground and the upper Yarra Valley. The area has a character typical of the best of Nillumbik’s green wedge — large acreage properties, horse paddocks, native bushland remnants and hobby farms nestled among granite outcrops and ironbark ridges. The Nillumbik Shire’s commitment to protecting its rural and environmental landscape has prevented suburban encroachment from reaching these hills, and Christmas Hills retains a genuine rural quality despite being well within commuting distance of Melbourne. The locality takes its evocative name from its hills, which have been home to farming families and rural landholders since the pastoral era. The nearby Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Tower and Panton Hill township provide community focal points, while Diamond Creek and Eltham provide the nearest full range of urban services via Kangaroo Ground-Warrandyte Road. Receiving care at home in Christmas Hills means staying in this beautiful green wedge locality, close to family and the hills. Wattletree Health Group‘s home nursing care is tailored to each client’s needs, helping reduce the need for hospital or GP visits while keeping care personal and consistent.
