Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Cootamundra was formed in 1984. We have been described as the “silent soldiers of the town”, with many different strengths. We work harmoniously to raise funds to assist cancer patients in our shire. We are supported with donations from the most generous community which recognises the value of our work.
Areas Serviced: Bethungra, Cootamundra, Muttama, Stockinbingal, Wallendbeen
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.
Accommodation Assistance
Lilier Lodge was purpose built by Can Assist and the Cancer Council NSW, together with the support of local and regional communities.
Lilier Lodge provides accommodation for people undergoing cancer treatment at nearby facilities including the Riverina Cancer Care Centre, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital and Calvary Hospital.
Our Supporters
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.

Is it 6.30 or 7 as on our commitments sheet? Thanks
Just a reminder of a couple of things. Bingo this Saturday at Ex Servicemens Club is for CanAssist. If you are able to help us with cakes/goodies for the sales table, we would appreciate it. We will also be at the Girl Guide Market on Sunday (weather permitting) come and have a snack with us and maybe you will be able to pick up something interesting from the sales tables. ...

Thanks, Ms Skinner!Can Assist always appreciates when someone chooses to include Can Assist as a beneficiary in their will.
With one recent bequest from a lady named Ms Skinner, we have already in this financial year been able to relieve the burden of accommodation costs for four country families when staying in Sydney to support their loved ones when receiving cancer treatment. Can Assist's network is so grateful for Ms Skinner's thoughtfulness in planning a bequest within her will.
We ensure the benefactors' lasting legacy will meet their wishes in supporting country cancer patients in NSW. Need more information?
