Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Whittlesea (postcode 3757), a township within the City of Whittlesea, about 35km north of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Whittlesea and neighbouring South Morang, Mernda, Doreen and Yarrambat, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Whittlesea is a historic rural township that has given its name to one of Australia’s fastest-growing local government areas — the City of Whittlesea, which encompasses a sweeping arc of Melbourne’s outer northern and north-eastern suburbs from the established residential communities of South Morang and Mill Park in the south to the rural and semi-rural townships of Yan Yean, Kinglake West and Whittlesea township itself in the north. The township of Whittlesea retains a genuinely rural character, with a working farm community, local services and community facilities that serve the Whittlesea district, and excellent views across the open basalt plains to the west and the Great Dividing Range foothills to the north-east. Kinglake National Park and the Yarra Ranges foothill communities are accessible from Whittlesea via the Kinglake Road, making this township a gateway to Melbourne’s northern highland recreational areas. The Mernda rail line terminus at Mernda provides public transport connections to the broader Melbourne network for the southern parts of the City of Whittlesea.
