Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Dendy (postcode 3186), a bayside locality in Brighton within the City of Bayside, about 12km south of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Dendy and neighbouring Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham and Elwood, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Dendy takes its name from Dendy Street — a Brighton landmark best known as the home of the Dendy Cinema, one of Melbourne’s most beloved independent picture palaces, which has been screening films to Brighton audiences since 1938 and remains a cultural institution for the Bayside community. The surrounding Dendy Street Beach is perhaps Brighton’s most scenic foreshore precinct, fronting the famous row of 82 brightly coloured bathing boxes that have become synonymous with Melbourne’s bayside character and are among the most photographed landmarks in Victoria. Brighton’s residential streets behind the foreshore are characterised by elegant Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war homes on generous allotments, with Church Street’s boutique retail strip and excellent restaurants providing an outstanding local lifestyle. The Sandringham rail line’s Brighton Beach station provides direct CBD connections.
