Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Collingwood (postcode 3066), a vibrant inner suburb in the City of Yarra, about 2km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Collingwood and neighbouring Fitzroy, Abbotsford, Richmond and Carlton, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Collingwood was known to the Wurundjeri as Yálla-birrang and has one of Melbourne’s most distinctive working-class histories — a suburb of factories, tanneries and workers’ cottages that was home to the Collingwood Football Club’s roots and the famous industrial character that defined Melbourne’s inner north-east from the goldrush era through to the 1980s. Smith Street, once known as a gritty working-class shopping strip, is now one of Melbourne’s liveliest bar, restaurant and arts precincts. The suburb’s former factories and warehouses have been repurposed as studios, galleries, offices and apartments, and the Collingwood Arts Precinct draws creative industries from across the city.
