Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Glen Iris (postcode 3146), a leafy suburb spanning the City of Boroondara and City of Stonnington, about 10km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Glen Iris and neighbouring Camberwell, Malvern, Ashburton and Hawthorn East, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Glen Iris takes its name from the “Glen Iris Estate” that was advertised for sale in 1852 on the eastern side of Gardiners Creek — the “iris” a poetic reference to the wildflowers that grew along the creek banks. The suburb spans the Boroondara–Stonnington council boundary and is well served by the Glen Waverley railway line, with Gardiner, Glen Iris and Darling stations providing access to Melbourne’s CBD. Gardiners Creek and its linear parklands form the suburb’s northern boundary, offering walking and cycling connections through the inner south-east. Glen Iris is consistently one of Melbourne’s most sought-after family suburbs, its well-established tree-lined streets and strong school catchments — including Korowa Anglican Girls’ School — underpinning its enduring appeal.
