Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Dandenong (postcode 3175), a major suburban centre in the City of Greater Dandenong, about 31km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Dandenong and neighbouring Dandenong North, Dandenong South, Noble Park and Springvale, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Dandenong has been the “gateway to Gippsland” since the 1850s, when explorer Joseph Hawdon established a pastoral run here in 1837 and the town grew up as an important staging post for travellers heading east. The Dandenong Market, established in 1866, is one of Melbourne’s oldest — a mecca for fresh produce and hard-to-find ingredients. The heritage-listed Dandenong Town Hall, built in 1890 and now integrated into the Drum Theatre complex, remains the civic heart of the city. The General Motors Holden plant opened here in 1956, transforming Dandenong into a major industrial hub; today the suburb is home to residents from over 150 nationalities and celebrated precincts including “Little India” on Foster Street.
