Junee BRANCH
Murrumbidgee Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Junee was formed in 1991. Our branch is dedicated to supporting anyone in the Junee Local Government area affected by cancer. We understand that following a cancer diagnosis, clients can struggle with the associated medical costs. We are able to do this through wonderful volunteers giving their time to raise much needed funds. Our aim is to maintain that all funds raised local remains local. Supporting Junee Can Assist is vital for our community, through donating money or volunteering time to make our fund-raising events a success.
Areas Serviced: Bethungra, Dirnaseer, Erin Vale, Eurongilly, Harefield, Junee, Junee Reefs, Marinna, Marrar, Nangus, Old Junee, Wantabadgerry, Wantiool, Yathella
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

But what does leaving a gift in your Will actually involve? What can you leave? Does it have to be a large amount? And what about your loved ones?

🔎 What do cancer specialists do every day to look after their own health?
We came across some interesting insights from three cancer specialists and thought they were worth sharing. While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, understanding the factors that can influence cancer risk can help us make informed choices about our health.
And if you or someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, Can Assist is here to help with practical and financial support to make accessing cancer care a little easier.
