Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Croydon (postcode 3136), a major residential and commercial suburb in the City of Maroondah, about 26km east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Lilydale rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Croydon and neighbouring Ringwood, Croydon North, Croydon South and Mooroolbark, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Croydon takes its name from Croydon in Surrey, England. The Shire of Croydon was proclaimed in 1961 when it separated from the Shire of Lilydale, and the area began attracting orchard growers and market gardeners following the opening of the Lilydale railway line in the 1880s. The suburb’s Main Street shopping precinct — one of Maroondah’s busiest local strips — and the heritage-listed Croydon Commercial Hotel are central to the suburb’s identity, while Croydon Library at Civic Square on Mount Dandenong Road serves as a community anchor.
