Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Oaklands Junction (postcode 3063), a small rural locality within the City of Hume, about 28km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Oaklands Junction and neighbouring Mickleham, Yuroke, Craigieburn and Somerton, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Oaklands Junction is a small rural locality in the City of Hume, set on Melbourne’s northern volcanic plains between the Hume Freeway corridor and the expanding residential communities of Craigieburn and Mickleham. The locality reflects the agricultural and pastoral heritage of this part of Melbourne’s north — a landscape of open paddocks, rural properties and market garden land that has been gradually giving way to the expanding urban fringe. The name “Junction” reflects the historical significance of road and route intersections in this part of the north, which has long served as a connection point between Melbourne and regional Victoria via the Hume corridor. The Craigieburn train station on the Craigieburn rail line is the nearest major public transport hub, and the Hume Freeway provides direct road access to the CBD and to regional Victoria.
