Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Wattle Glen (postcode 3096), a small rural locality in Melbourne’s outer north-east within the Nillumbik Shire, about 30km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Wattle Glen and neighbouring Diamond Creek, Hurstbridge, Research and Plenty, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Wattle Glen is a small and leafy rural locality in the Nillumbik Shire, situated in the Diamond Creek valley between Diamond Creek township and Hurstbridge, along the corridor of the Hurstbridge rail line. The locality takes its name from the wattles — golden-flowering acacias — that carpet the hillsides and creek banks with vivid yellow blooms each winter and spring, one of the most celebrated natural spectacles of the outer north-eastern suburbs. Wattle Glen station is a quiet stop on the Hurstbridge rail line, providing public transport connections to Melbourne’s CBD via Diamond Creek and Eltham, and the station’s heritage timber platform and surroundings have a genuine country railway charm. The Diamond Creek and its riparian vegetation form an important ecological corridor through the locality, connecting the Nillumbik’s green wedge bushland with the broader Yarra Valley. Diamond Creek township — with its shopping centre, medical centre and schools — is the nearest full-service centre.
