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.

Thank you for all of your dedicated work throughout the year, without this there would be no can assist. To the community for all of your support, coming in many forms. May you all have a Merry Christmas and 2023 bring bigger and better ideas to raise much needed money and a well deserved break.
Our Can Assist Cootamundra volunteers were at the ball from the beginning and until the last dance selling drink tickets. Cheers to Viv, Robyn and Colleen. Three very giving ladies. Thank you. ... See MoreSee Less
