Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Knoxfield (postcode 3180), a residential suburb in the City of Knox, about 27km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Knoxfield and neighbouring Boronia, Ferntree Gully, Scoresby and Rowville, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Knoxfield’s post office opened on 31 July 1961, just as the suburb began its residential development, and many of its streets were named after the local families who had farmed and lived in the area for generations — a tradition that still makes it easy to trace the suburb’s history simply by walking its streets. The suburb is home to the Knox Athletics Track and the Gilbert Reserve, which regularly hosts softball and baseball competitions. CSIRO’s Knoxfield research site — part of the broader government research precinct in the Knox-Scoresby corridor — has been an important presence in the area since the 1970s.
