Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Donnybrook (postcode 3064), a fast-growing outer northern locality in the City of Whittlesea, about 38km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Donnybrook and neighbouring Beveridge, Lockerbie, Kalkallo and Mickleham, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Donnybrook is one of Melbourne’s most significant new growth communities, positioned at the northern edge of Melbourne’s expanding metropolitan fringe in the City of Whittlesea. The Donnybrook Precinct Structure Plan encompasses thousands of hectares of new residential and mixed-use development that will eventually house tens of thousands of residents, making it one of the largest greenfield urban development areas in Victoria. Donnybrook station on the Seymour rail line provides direct rail access to Melbourne’s CBD — an important connection for a community that straddles Melbourne’s outer north and the traditional pastoral country of the Hume corridor. The Hume Freeway (M31) passes close to Donnybrook, and the area benefits from the major infrastructure investment flowing to Melbourne’s rapidly developing outer north. The nearby Craigieburn and Roxburgh Park town centres provide retail, medical and community services for the northern growth corridor. Receiving care at home in Donnybrook means staying in this growing community, close to family, familiar surroundings, and everyday routine. 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.
