Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Doncaster East (postcode 3109), a large residential suburb in the City of Manningham, about 17km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Doncaster East and neighbouring Doncaster, Donvale, Templestowe and Nunawading, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Doncaster East began developing on its southern side in the 1950s and grew rapidly through to the 1980s. The suburb is home to Stockland The Pines Shopping Centre at the corner of Blackburn and Reynolds Roads, and to the Doncaster East Avenue of Honour — a tree-lined memorial avenue planted to commemorate soldiers who served in World War I, which remains one of Manningham’s most significant heritage landscapes. The Koonung Creek Trail provides a popular off-road cycling and walking route through the suburb.
