Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Craigieburn (postcode 3064), a large, fast-growing suburb in the City of Hume, about 25km north of Melbourne’s CBD on the Hume Highway and Craigieburn rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Craigieburn and neighbouring Roxburgh Park, Mickleham, Meadow Heights and Greenvale, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Craigieburn takes its name from a property established in the 1850s, and grew rapidly from the 1980s and 1990s as Melbourne’s northern urban growth corridor extended along the Hume Highway. Today it is one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing communities, with the Hume Highway corridor becoming continuously urban from Broadmeadows northward to Craigieburn. The suburb is home to the Craigieburn Town Centre shopping precinct, Craigieburn railway station on the electrified Upfield/Craigieburn line, and extensive parks and reserves in the Merri Creek catchment.
