Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Yarraville (postcode 3013), a leafy inner-western suburb in the City of Maribyrnong, about 6km west of Melbourne’s CBD on the Werribee rail line. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Yarraville and neighbouring Seddon, Kingsville, Footscray and Newport, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Yarraville’s village square — anchored by the heritage-listed Sun Theatre, operating continuously since 1938 — is one of Melbourne’s most beloved neighbourhood centres, lined with independent cafes, restaurants and boutiques. The suburb has transformed from an industrial working-class area into one of Melbourne’s most sought-after inner-western addresses while retaining its heritage Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes. Stony Creek and the Yarraville Gardens reserve provide green space at the heart of the suburb, and Yarraville station on the Werribee line has been connecting the community to Melbourne since 1887.
