No matter the distance, assistance is never far away.
We Can Assist
Can Assist is committed to ensuring that all people, regardless of where they live in NSW, have equitable access to cancer treatment and care. By providing financial assistance, practical support and raising awareness of the inequities, our volunteer network ensures that country people are given the same opportunities and treatment choices as those who live in city centres.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of our grass roots organisation.
How you can assist
Today, Can Assist has more than 2700 volunteers and over 50 branches that are committed to making the journey with cancer easier for all rural and regional NSW communities. Ensure our charitable organisation continues to grow by joining our team of men and women across the state who selflessly give their time and effort to assist.
“Without Can Assist, I would not have been able to continue treatment.” Vicki, Mudgee
Can Assist has been supporting country people
with cancer since 1955
By providing accommodation, financial assistance and practical support to people from rural and regional areas, we ensure that country people are given the same opportunities and treatment choices as those who live in city centres.
The 2023 Australia Day nominations and awards have seen Can Assist members, volunteers, branches and events recognised for their superb work within the community.
We are so proud to know that your efforts support Can Assist. Thank you!
