Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Ringwood North (postcode 3134), a leafy residential suburb in the City of Maroondah, about 24km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Ringwood North and neighbouring Ringwood, Croydon, Warranwood and Doncaster East, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Ringwood North grew from hobby farm and residential allotment subdivisions in the early 20th century, developing more slowly than the southern parts of Ringwood until postwar residential expansion took hold. The suburb is home to Ringwood Lake Park — a popular wetlands reserve with walking tracks and birdwatching — and shares the Mullum Mullum Creek catchment that provides a green corridor through much of Maroondah. Its position on the northern boundary of Maroondah connects it to the Warrandyte and Manningham communities to the north.
