Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Ivanhoe East (postcode 3079), a quiet, leafy residential pocket in the City of Banyule, about 10km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Ivanhoe East and neighbouring Ivanhoe, Eaglemont, Heidelberg and Kew, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Ivanhoe East is a small, affluent suburb set on the slopes above the Yarra River, bordered by the Banyule Flats and Darebin Creek parklands. The suburb is characterised by large period homes on established tree-lined streets, and shares a postcode with Ivanhoe and Eaglemont. Its proximity to Heidelberg’s major hospital precinct — including Austin Hospital and the Mercy Hospital for Women — makes it a well-serviced area for healthcare.
