Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Yarra Glen (postcode 3775), a historic Yarra Valley township in the Shire of Yarra Ranges, about 45km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD on the Melba Highway. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Yarra Glen and neighbouring Coldstream, Yering, Tarrawarra and Steels Creek, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Yarra Glen is named for the Yarra River and the glen through which it flows at this point in the Yarra Valley. The township’s most celebrated heritage landmark is Gulf Station — a remarkable 1840s property on the Melba Highway that has been preserved by the National Trust of Australia and is one of the best examples of a 19th-century Victorian farming complex in Australia. Yering Station, adjacent to Yarra Glen, is among the oldest wineries in Victoria, and the Yarra Valley Racing Centre hosts significant thoroughbred racing events in the region. The ward of the Shire of Yarra Ranges named Ryrie is named after William Ryrie, who planted the first vineyards in this part of the Yarra Valley.
