Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Kinglake (postcode 3763), a township in the Kinglake Ranges within the Murrindindi Shire, about 65km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Kinglake and neighbouring Kinglake West, Flowerdale, Pheasant Creek and Strath Creek, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Kinglake is the principal township of the Kinglake Ranges, set high in the mountain ash and mixed eucalypt forest of one of Victoria’s great national park areas — the Kinglake National Park — which extends across more than 22,000 hectares of the outer Melbourne hinterland and encompasses spectacular walking tracks, waterfalls including Mason Falls and Masons Creek Falls, and outstanding wildlife habitat. The Kinglake community is among the most resilient in Victoria, having endured and rebuilt following the catastrophic February 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, which caused devastating loss of life and property across the Kinglake Ranges. The community’s recovery — marked by extraordinary courage, mutual support and determination — stands as one of the defining stories of modern Victoria. Today, Kinglake township has a warm community spirit centred around the pub, CFA, primary school and local businesses, and the national park provides an iconic destination for walkers, birdwatchers and nature lovers from across Melbourne. Receiving care at home in Kinglake means staying in this remarkable mountain community, close to family and the forests. 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.
