Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Donvale (postcode 3111), a residential suburb in the City of Manningham, about 20km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Donvale and neighbouring Doncaster East, Park Orchards, Templestowe and Nunawading, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Donvale developed gradually from the 1950s as a low-density, orchard-and-residential suburb, maintaining a semi-rural character well into the 1980s. The suburb is home to Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital, a significant specialist rehabilitation centre. Donvale’s spacious blocks, established gardens and proximity to the Eastern Freeway corridor have made it a popular address for families seeking the feel of the outer east without sacrificing access to the city. The suburb borders the 100 Acres Flora and Fauna Reserve, one of Manningham’s most significant natural reserves.
