Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Yarrambat (postcode 3091), a rural residential locality in the Shire of Nillumbik, about 25km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Yarrambat and neighbouring Diamond Creek, Plenty, Yan Yean and Doreen, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Yarrambat is a quiet rural residential locality in the western Nillumbik Green Wedge, on the Yan Yean Road corridor between Diamond Creek and Plenty. The name Yarrambat is of Aboriginal origin, reflecting the deep Wurundjeri connection to this land that the Shire of Nillumbik — whose name derives from a Wurundjeri word for “shallow earth” or “red earth” — honours as its heritage. The locality features horse properties, hobby farms and lifestyle blocks characteristic of Nillumbik’s rural green wedge, and heritage properties along Kurrak Road are among the area’s longest-established homesteads.
