Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Wonga Park (postcode 3115), a semi-rural suburb in the City of Manningham, about 32km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Yarra River. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Wonga Park and neighbouring Warrandyte, North Warrandyte, Chirnside Park and Croydon Hills, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Wonga Park’s history traces back to the 1890s, when the Wonga Park Land Company sold land here after the failure of the land boom; around 20 members of the Eight Hours Pioneer Memorial Association subsequently took up small holdings on a former timber reserve, establishing one of Melbourne’s early labour-movement smallholding communities. Development was slow until the 1980s, when rural and residential subdivisions opened up the area. Today Wonga Park is known for its picturesque Yarra River flats, Warrandyte State Park on its western boundary, and an annual music festival that draws visitors from across the city.
