Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Mount Evelyn (postcode 3796), a scenic residential community in the Shire of Yarra Ranges at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, about 37km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Mount Evelyn and neighbouring Lilydale, Mooroolbark, Montrose and Kilsyth, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Mount Evelyn is named after the Evelyn Estate, an early pastoral property in the district, and sits on the elevated ridgeline between Lilydale and the Dandenong Ranges. The township developed as a residential community from the early 20th century, with the Lilydale–Warburton railway line (which closed in 1965) having once passed through, and the former rail corridor now forming the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail — one of Victoria’s most popular recreational cycling and walking tracks. Mount Evelyn is known for its community character, scenic bushland surroundings and proximity to both the Yarra Valley wine country and the Dandenong Ranges.
