Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Dixons Creek (postcode 3775), a picturesque rural locality in the Yarra Valley within the Yarra Ranges Shire, about 55km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Dixons Creek and neighbouring Yarra Glen, Healesville, Steels Creek and Gruyere, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Dixons Creek is a small and highly scenic rural locality in the Yarra Valley wine region, named after the Dixons Creek watercourse that flows through the valley and joins the Yarra River to the south. The area is surrounded by some of the Yarra Valley’s most highly regarded wineries — Punt Road, Steels Gate, and several boutique producers operate in the Dixons Creek and Steels Creek valleys — and the combination of north-facing slopes, rich alluvial soils and cool-climate conditions makes this part of the Yarra Valley particularly suited to high-quality viticulture. The Dixons Creek and Steels Creek valleys were among the earliest areas in the Yarra Valley to be settled for agriculture, and heritage homesteads and stone buildings speak to the European farming history of the area. The Yarra Glen township — with its post office hotel, racecourse and community facilities — is the nearest service centre, and Healesville’s medical centre, hospital and Sanctuary are within easy reach. Receiving care at home in Dixons Creek means staying in this beautiful valley, close to family and the vines. Wattletree Health Group‘s home nursing care is tailored to each client’s needs, helping reduce the need for hospital or GP visits while keeping care personal and consistent.
