Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Collingwood North (postcode 3066), a sub-locality on the northern edge of Collingwood in the City of Yarra, about 2km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Collingwood North and neighbouring Collingwood, Fitzroy, Clifton Hill and Fitzroy North, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Collingwood North borders Fitzroy to the north and shares Collingwood’s identity as Yálla-birrang in Wurundjeri tradition. The northern edge of Collingwood captures the transition between the vibrant Smith Street arts and bar precinct below and the Edinburgh Gardens green space of Fitzroy North — making this a highly liveable pocket of the inner north-east. The former industrial warehouses and workers’ cottages of this part of Collingwood are among the suburb’s best-preserved heritage streetscapes.
About Wattletree Health Group
