Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Jewell (postcode 3057), a vibrant inner-north locality in Brunswick East within the City of Merri-bek, about 5km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Jewell and neighbouring Brunswick East, Northcote, Fitzroy North and Clifton Hill, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Jewell takes its name from Jewell station on the Upfield line, which sits in the heart of Brunswick East and has served commuters since the early twentieth century. The station’s immediate surroundings reflect the eclectic, creative energy that makes Brunswick one of Melbourne’s most distinctive inner suburbs — a neighbourhood where Victorian-era terraces and workers’ cottages sit alongside artist studios, vegetarian restaurants, craft beer venues and some of Melbourne’s best independent music venues. Victoria Street and Nicholson Street both run close by, offering excellent café culture and local shopping. The nearby Merri Creek parkland provides a natural corridor for cycling and walking that connects the area to the broader north and inner-north trail network.
