Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Maribyrnong (postcode 3032), a riverside suburb in the City of Maribyrnong, about 7km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Maribyrnong and neighbouring Maidstone, Footscray, Ascot Vale and Highpoint, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Maribyrnong is built on the site of one of Australia’s most significant defence manufacturing precincts — the Commonwealth Government’s cordite and ordnance factory complex, established from 1910 to 1912 and operating through both World Wars, at its peak employing over 8,800 workers in 1942. Pipemakers Park on the river bank — which includes heritage-listed meatworks buildings and the Living Museum of the West — marks the industrial origins of the area. Today the suburb is dominated by Highpoint Shopping Centre (opened 1975 in a former quarry, now one of Victoria’s largest shopping centres) and a growing riverside residential community on the former factory lands.
