Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Croydon South (postcode 3136), a residential suburb in the City of Maroondah, about 26km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Croydon South and neighbouring Croydon, Heathmont, Ringwood East and Bayswater, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Croydon South developed in the postwar period as residential growth extended southward from established Croydon, which had itself grown rapidly after the Lilydale railway arrived in the 1880s and orchards and market gardens began replacing the original grazing runs. The suburb borders Heathmont and shares the broader Croydon story — a municipality named after Croydon in Surrey, England, established as a shire in 1961, and from which the City of Maroondah was formed through amalgamation in 1994.
About Wattletree Health Group
