Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Heatherton (postcode 3202), a semi-rural suburb in the City of Kingston, about 17km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Heatherton and neighbouring Moorabbin, Clarinda, Dingley Village and Clayton South, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Heatherton retains a character unlike most of metropolitan Melbourne — much of its land sits within Kingston’s Green Wedge, where market gardening and farming have continued since the 1840s and the landscape remains relatively open. Kingston Heath Golf Club — one of Australia’s most celebrated courses, which has hosted multiple Australian Opens and is scheduled to host the Presidents Cup in 2028 — is located in Heatherton, along with several other world-class golf courses that give the area an unusually high concentration of premium golf precincts.
About Wattletree Health Group
Receiving care at home here means staying 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.
