What we do

We help ease the burden of cancer for country families throughout NSW.

How we Assist

Why we Assist

To lessen the inequities distance creates in cancer care and treatment for rural communities.

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.

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.

An incredible journey, sparked by one phone call, four years ago, resulted in more than just green slips. Our partnership with greenslips.com.au has impacted all 56 of our branches across NSW, supporting hundreds and hundreds of cancer patients, keeping their cars on the road when they needed them the most.

This story isn't just about financial support - it’s a testament to the power of community, connectivity and care in overcoming struggles, together.

Thank you, greenslips.com.au, for being a part of our family and making this significant difference to the lives of cancer patients, their carers and their families.
