Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Pound Bend (postcode 3094), a scenic riverside locality in the City of Manningham, about 25km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Pound Bend and neighbouring Warrandyte, Park Orchards, Wonga Park and Donvale, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Pound Bend takes its name from the distinctive horseshoe bend in the Yarra River at the Pound Bend Reserve in Warrandyte — a popular bushwalking and picnic area managed by Parks Victoria. The reserve features a manually-dug tunnel built by gold miners in the 1860s to divert the Yarra and expose gold-bearing gravel in the riverbed, and today the bend’s riverside trails attract walkers and canoeists from across Melbourne.
