Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Selby (postcode 3159), a tranquil Dandenong Ranges suburb within the Yarra Ranges Shire, about 41km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Selby and neighbouring Belgrave, Upwey, Macclesfield and Emerald, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Selby is a quiet, leafy suburb in the upper Dandenong Ranges, positioned between Belgrave’s busy township and the more rural communities to the south and east. The Ranges bush and Sherbrooke Forest — one of the most spectacular mountain ash and fern gully forests anywhere near a major Australian city — are immediately accessible from Selby, providing residents with extraordinary natural amenity on their doorstep. The Dandenong Ranges National Park, which encompasses much of the Sherbrooke and Kokoda corridor, protects vast areas of temperate rainforest and supports populations of the elusive and beautiful superb lyrebird — one of Australia’s most celebrated birds, known for its extraordinary mimicry and elaborate tail display. The Puffing Billy Railway, which runs through the Ranges from Belgrave, is one of Australia’s most beloved tourist railways and a defining icon of the Dandenong Ranges community. Belgrave’s township — with its train station, shops and community services — is the closest major service centre. Receiving care at home in Selby means staying in the forest, close to family, and in the peaceful surroundings of the Dandenong Ranges. Wattletree Health Group‘s home nursing care is tailored to each client’s needs, helping reduce the need for hospital or GP visits while keeping care personal and consistent.
