Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Keilor (postcode 3036), a historic suburb in the City of Brimbank, about 16km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Keilor and neighbouring Taylors Lakes, Keilor Downs, St Albans and Sydenham, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Keilor is one of Melbourne’s oldest European settlements, with the Keilor Plains having been the site of a penal station as early as 1838, and the village of Keilor gazetted in 1841. The area sits on basalt plains above the Maribyrnong River, and is notable as the location of the Keilor skull — among Australia’s oldest known human fossil remains, discovered in 1940. The Old Calder Highway, which passes through the suburb, was once the main route north from Melbourne before the new Calder Freeway bypass. Today Keilor retains a village feel with open paddocks and heritage bluestone buildings on the fringes of the modern western suburbs.
