Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Croydon Hills (postcode 3136), a residential suburb in the City of Maroondah, about 28km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Croydon Hills and neighbouring Croydon North, Croydon, Warranwood and Wonga Park, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Croydon Hills was one of the last parts of the former Shire of Croydon to be developed, with residential expansion occurring through the 1980s as Melbourne’s eastern growth frontier moved outward. The suburb takes its name from the hills in the northern area of the Croydon municipality, and its elevated terrain offers views across the Yarra Valley and towards the Dandenong Ranges. Chirnside Park Shopping Centre, just across the border, provides the suburb’s main retail hub, and the suburb borders the bushland fringe of the Yarra Valley foothills.
