Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Ricketts Point (postcode 3193), a scenic coastal locality in Beaumaris within the City of Bayside, about 17km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Ricketts Point and neighbouring Beaumaris, Black Rock, Sandringham and Mentone, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Ricketts Point is one of Port Phillip Bay’s most celebrated natural landmarks — a low-lying rocky headland at the southern end of Beaumaris that is home to a significant marine sanctuary, the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary, which protects the unique intertidal reef communities of the bay’s eastern shore. The marine sanctuary’s reef platforms, seagrass beds and rocky shores support diverse marine life including sea stars, anemones, octopus and abundant fish species, making it a popular destination for snorkelling, rock pooling and nature observation. Beaumaris itself is one of Melbourne’s most beautiful bayside suburbs — its mid-century modern architecture (including numerous designs by notable modernist architects), the stunning coastal cliffs of the Half Moon Bay area, and the long sandy foreshore stretching to Black Rock make this one of the bay’s most scenic and sought-after residential communities. The suburb’s commitment to preserving its distinctive architectural heritage and natural environment makes Beaumaris and Ricketts Point genuinely special.
