Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Rushall (postcode 3068), a small residential locality in the City of Yarra beside Merri Creek, about 4km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Rushall and neighbouring Fitzroy North, Clifton Hill, Northcote and Abbotsford, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Rushall takes its name from Rushall railway station on the Mernda and Hurstbridge lines, which serves this small pocket between Fitzroy North, Clifton Hill and the Merri Creek corridor. The locality sits alongside the Merri Creek Trail — one of Melbourne’s most popular urban cycling and walking paths — and shares its 3068 postcode with Fitzroy North and Clifton Hill. The City of Yarra was formed in 1994 through the amalgamation of the former cities of Collingwood, Fitzroy and Richmond, and Rushall’s location on the inner Yarra–Darebin boundary reflects the area’s long history as part of the Collingwood municipality.
