Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Springvale (postcode 3171), a vibrant multicultural suburb in the City of Greater Dandenong, about 22km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Springvale and neighbouring Springvale South, Noble Park, Dandenong North and Clayton South, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Springvale takes its name from the natural springs that made this area a reliable water source for travellers between Melbourne and Dandenong — a Spring Vale Hotel opened here as early as 1852. The suburb is now renowned as one of Melbourne’s most vibrant Vietnamese communities, with its bustling Springvale Road market strip drawing shoppers from across the city; Vietnamese arrivals from the 1970s and 1980s transformed the area into a hub for South-East Asian culture, cuisine and commerce. The suburb is also home to the Springvale Botanical Cemetery, established in 1901 and covering around 390 acres — Victoria’s largest crematorium and memorial park, which once had its own dedicated railway branch (1904–1952) to transport funeral processions from Springvale station.
