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.

SHINING A LIGHT ON HEALTHY HABITS - GET ACTIVE
Did you know you benefit from even small amounts of moderate activity throughout the day? Regular physical activity is easier to fit in than you realize and can lower your lifetime risk for cancer.
Adults: Get 150 to 300 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each week.
Moderate activity is anything that makes you breath as hard as you do during a brisk walk. During moderate activities, you'll notice a slight increase in heart rate and breathing, but you may not break a sweat.
Vigorous activities are performed at a higher intensity and generally use large muscle groups. They cause a noticeable increase in heart rate, faster breathing, and sweating.
Take a walk outside if it’s a nice day or walk inside around the house if it isn’t. Walk fast enough to speed up your heart rate and break a sweat.

☀ SHINING THE LIGHT on our branches are run by our Can Assist HERO members and volunteers.
Last year despite Covid tour branches still managed to run 391 registered events with Covid Safety Protocols in place right across rural and regional NSW.
As 2021-2022 keeps all these factors front of mind our branches are still rolling out wonderful socially distanced fundraisers, online raffles and outdoor events.
Why don't you become part of our community?
