Financial Assistance
We understand that families struggle to cope with a reduced income as a result of a cancer diagnosis and that they face increased expenses from travel, accommodation and medical costs.
Our Supporters
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.

Vicki Meyer, Chair of Can Assist, enjoys connecting with supporters of Can Assist Bathurst and Can Assist Hay who are also attending the LBRCA conference.
The 'Big Theme' as we chat with conference attendees is just how important it is for us all to get checked.
