Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Nelsons Hill, a quiet locality in Melbourne’s outer east within the Yarra Ranges, about 28km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Nelsons Hill and neighbouring Wonga Park, Warranwood, Croydon Hills and Chirnside Park, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Nelsons Hill is a leafy elevated locality in Melbourne’s outer-east, nestled within the Yarra Ranges and close to the Yarra Valley. The surrounding area is known for its bushland reserves, semi-rural character and open green spaces — with Wonga Park’s native bushland and the Yarra River corridor close by. The Lilydale and Belgrave rail lines connect the broader area to Melbourne, and the Eastern Freeway provides direct road access to the CBD. It’s a part of Melbourne where community, nature and comfortable suburban living come together.
