Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Nunawading (postcode 3131), an established suburb in the City of Whitehorse, about 18km east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Belgrave and Lilydale rail lines. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Nunawading and neighbouring Blackburn, Blackburn North, Mitcham and Doncaster East, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Nunawading gave its name to the broader Nunawading District — the entire area that is now the City of Whitehorse was historically known by this name from as early as 1840. The first European settler in the Nunawading District was Arundel Wrighte, who established a pastoral run here in 1837. The City of Whitehorse was formed in December 1994 through the amalgamation of the former City of Box Hill and the City of Nunawading. Today’s Nunawading is home to Brand Smart Premium Outlet Centre and Maroondah Highway’s Melbourne’s largest bulky goods strip, stretching 1.5km. Nunawading station on the Belgrave and Lilydale lines provides direct CBD rail access, and Aqualink Nunawading is a major aquatic and leisure centre serving the eastern community. Receiving care at home here means staying close to family, familiar surroundings, and everyday routine. Wattletree Health Group‘s home nursing care is tailored to each client’s needs, helping reduce the need for hospital or GP visits while keeping care personal and consistent.
