Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Tarneit (postcode 3029), one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing outer western suburbs, in the City of Wyndham, about 25km west of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Tarneit and neighbouring Hoppers Crossing, Truganina, Wyndham Vale and Werribee, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Tarneit has undergone extraordinary residential growth since the early 2000s, transforming from farming land on the volcanic basalt plains west of Melbourne into one of the city’s most populous and multicultural outer suburbs. Tarneit station — opened in 2015 as part of the Regional Rail Link — provides direct rail access to Melbourne’s CBD and has been one of Melbourne’s busiest new stations from the outset, reflecting the suburb’s rapid population growth. The suburb sits on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people and shares its 3029 postcode with Hoppers Crossing. The City of Wyndham is one of Victoria’s largest and fastest-growing municipalities, with its population expected to exceed 500,000 by 2050.
