Macleod sits in the City of Banyule, about 14 km from the CBD. Macleod station is in the suburb, which helps if you or a carer travel by train. We ask about the practical things before the first visit: stairs, parking, a lift, a key safe, a dog, or a driveway that is hard to turn into.
Our team covers Macleod as part of the Melbourne's north run. That means the same small group of carers, a phone number that reaches a person, and a rate confirmed before anything starts.
