Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Werribee (postcode 3030), the administrative centre of the City of Wyndham, about 32km south-west of Melbourne’s CBD on the Princes Highway. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Werribee and neighbouring Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Wyndham Vale, Truganina and Point Cook, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
The name Werribee derives from the Wathawurrung and Boonwurrung Aboriginal word “Wirribi-yaluk” meaning “backbone” or “spine” — a reference to the Werribee River. The township was originally surveyed in 1850 as Wyndham, named after Scottish soldier Sir Henry Wyndham (suggested by local innkeeper Elliott Armstrong), before being renamed Werribee in 1884. The suburb is best known for the former estate of pastoralist Thomas Chirnside — now encompassing Werribee Park mansion, the Victoria State Rose Garden and the Werribee Open Range Zoo — one of Victoria’s most visited heritage and wildlife destinations. Werribee station is the terminus of the Werribee metropolitan rail line, and the suburb serves as the commercial and civic hub of one of Victoria’s fastest-growing municipalities.
