Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Edithvale (postcode 3196), a bayside suburb in the City of Kingston, about 29km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Frankston rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Edithvale and neighbouring Chelsea, Aspendale, Bonbeach and Chelsea Heights, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Edithvale’s most significant natural feature is the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands — a coastal wetland complex listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention, home to over 230 species of birds including migratory shorebirds that travel from as far as Siberia each year. The suburb is also home to the Edithvale Golf Course and sits at the northern end of the Edithvale beach foreshore. The area was developed as a residential suburb in the postwar period as part of the broader bayside expansion along the Frankston railway corridor.
