Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Richmond (postcode 3121), a dynamic inner suburb in the City of Yarra, about 3km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Richmond and neighbouring Collingwood, Cremorne, Hawthorn and Abbotsford, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Richmond was known to the Wurundjeri as Quo-yung and developed as a working-class suburb from the 1850s goldrush era. Victoria Street became one of Australia’s most celebrated Vietnamese food and restaurant strips following the arrival of Vietnamese refugees and migrants from the mid-1970s, creating a cultural precinct that remains one of Melbourne’s most vibrant. Swan Street, running parallel to the south, is Richmond’s bar, restaurant and boutique hub. The Melbourne Cricket Ground — spiritual home of Australian cricket and AFL football — sits on Richmond’s northern edge, and the Richmond Football Club was established in the suburb in 1885.
