Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Murrumbeena (postcode 3163), a residential suburb in Melbourne’s south-east, about 14km from the CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Murrumbeena and neighbouring Carnegie, Hughesdale, Chadstone and Oakleigh, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Murrumbeena takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning “possum country” or “the place of many possums.” The suburb is served by Murrumbeena railway station on the Frankston line, and the local area retains a strong community character with the popular Murrumbeena Park at its heart. The area’s most famous historical connection is Thomas Austin, who introduced rabbits to Australia at his property near Winchelsea in 1859 — though his later Murrumbeena home is perhaps less known. Murrumbeena Primary School and Carnegie Primary School together serve the local community’s educational needs.
