Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Ringwood (postcode 3134), the commercial hub of the City of Maroondah, about 24km east of Melbourne’s CBD where the Lilydale and Belgrave railway lines converge. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Ringwood and neighbouring Heathmont, Ringwood East, Ringwood North and Croydon, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Ringwood takes its name from the market town of Ringwood in Hampshire, England, and the Borough of Ringwood was established in 1924. The suburb’s Wurundjeri name — recorded as meaning “place of many eagles” — speaks to the rich environment that shaped the area long before European settlement in the 1840s. Today Ringwood is anchored by Eastland Shopping Centre, one of Melbourne’s major regional retail destinations, and the Realm library and cultural precinct in Ringwood Town Square directly opposite the station. The convergence of the Lilydale and Belgrave lines at Ringwood makes it the most significant rail junction in Melbourne’s east.
