Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Laverton (postcode 3028), a western suburb in the City of Hobsons Bay, about 18km south-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Laverton and neighbouring Altona Meadows, Seabrook, Williams Landing and Truganina, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Laverton takes its name from Sir Henry Laverton, a prominent nineteenth-century Melbourne merchant and philanthropist. The suburb is historically significant as the site of RAAF Base Williams, one of Australia’s oldest and most important air force bases, which has been operational since 1920 and remains active today — the presence of the base has shaped much of Laverton’s character and economy over the past century. Laverton railway station on the Werribee line connects residents directly to Melbourne’s CBD, and the suburb sits at the junction of the Princes Freeway and Dohertys Road, offering excellent road access to both the city and Geelong.
