Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Coldstream (postcode 3770), a rural locality in the Shire of Yarra Ranges at the entrance to the Yarra Valley wine country, about 45km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Coldstream and neighbouring Yering, Yarra Glen, Lilydale and Healesville, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Coldstream was named by early Scottish settlers — reflecting the Coldstream Guard and the Scottish town of Coldstream on the River Tweed — and was among the first areas of Yarra Ranges settled by European pastoralists from the 1830s. The Coldstream and Yering district is the cradle of Victoria’s wine industry: Yering Station, established on the Yering side of Coldstream in 1838, is one of the oldest operating wineries in Victoria. Today Coldstream sits at the Maroondah Highway junction to the Yarra Valley and is the natural gateway to the region’s celebrated wine, food and tourism precincts.
