Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Oakleigh South (postcode 3167), a residential suburb spanning parts of the City of Monash and the City of Kingston, about 16km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Oakleigh South and neighbouring Oakleigh, Huntingdale, Clarinda and Moorabbin, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Oakleigh South forms the southern residential extension of Oakleigh, one of Melbourne’s oldest south-eastern townships established in 1853. The suburb straddles the boundary between Monash and Kingston councils, sitting on the Princes Highway corridor that connected early Melbourne to the south-east. Huntingdale station on the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines is the nearest rail connection, and the suburb has a well-established residential character with strong community amenities developed through the postwar decades. 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.
