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.

Our stories of Anna, Leonie, Luke and little Tommy all demonstrate that for those who live in remote rural areas, a cancer diagnosis isn’t just a health challenge, it’s often a logistical nightmare. The distance between these patients and the care they need adds extra costs and planning to an already stressful time.
Can Assist alleviates some of this stress, - by registering for the CAN DO Challenge this October you can help yourself and Can Assist.

“Lilier played such an instrumental role in my recovery…it’s more like a family” says Anna Nardi from Leeton
If you are travelling to The Riverina Cancer Care Centre in Wagga Wagga for treatment, you can stay at Lilier Lodge which is part owned and operated by Can Assist. Housing patients and carers who live up to 1,000km away like Anna they find solace and support with fellow guests.
Please help us continue to support rural cancer patients like Anna.
