Hillston BRANCH
Murrumbidgee Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Hillston was formed in 1996. We care for people and their families living with a cancer diagnosis in our local government area of the Carrathool Shire. We also reach out to embrace the people from Ivanhoe who are without a local branch of Can Assist.
Areas Serviced: Binya, Carrathool, Goolgowi, Gunbar, Hillston, Ivanhoe, Lake Brewster, Lake Cargelligo, Merriwagga, Monia Gap, Mossgiel, Ranking Springs, Roto, Tabbita, Trida, Wallanthery
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 provides accommodation for people undergoing cancer treatment at nearby facilities including the Riverina Cancer Care Centre, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital and Calvary Hospital.
Purpose built by Can Assist and the Cancer Council NSW, with the support of local and regional communities, it is managed by Can Assist. The 21 bed lodge is a warm and supportive home away from home.
Our Supporters
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.
Upcoming Events
There are no upcoming events.

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?
