About Wattletree Health Group
Officer takes its name from the Officer family — early pastoralists in the district — and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing residential areas in the Shire of Cardinia, with the Shire Council offices relocating from Pakenham to Officer in November 2014 as the suburb’s growth accelerated. Officer station on the Pakenham line opened in 2012, significantly improving access to Melbourne’s CBD for the growing residential community. The suburb lies at the heart of Melbourne’s south-eastern growth corridor, which the Cardinia Shire describes as “the front of Melbourne’s south-east growth corridor” along the Princes Highway from Beaconsfield to Pakenham.
About Wattletree Health Group
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.
