Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Niddrie (postcode 3042), a residential suburb in the City of Moonee Valley, about 10km north-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Niddrie and neighbouring Airport West, Essendon West, Essendon North and Strathmore, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Niddrie’s history is a distinctly postwar story — areas north of Essendon were still open paddocks in 1945, but by 1950 the Shire of Keilor found itself with a rapidly developing suburb that had no name. It was later named Niddrie. The suburb’s Niddrie Shopping Centre, anchored along Keilor Road, became a dynamic community commercial hub with cafes, restaurants and specialty shops. Niddrie shares its 3042 postcode with Airport West, and the suburb is well-connected via Keilor Road and the Western Ring Road to Melbourne’s CBD and the Tullamarine corridor.
