Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Reservoir (postcode 3073), a large, multicultural suburb in the City of Darebin, about 12km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Reservoir and neighbouring Preston, Regent and Kingsbury, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Reservoir takes its name from the reservoir built on the Yan Yean pipeline in 1864 to help supply water to Melbourne. A long-time community landmark, Edwardes Lake Park, began as a 1914 gift of 34 acres of land from Englishman Thomas Dyer Edwardes, while the nearby Rose Shamrock Hotel, trading since 1854, is the oldest hotel in northern Darebin.
