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.

Lilier Lodge

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.

🏃‍♀️ There’s still time to support us in Can Do The Distance! 💚

The challenge concluded on 31 August, but donations close tomorrow at 11:59pm, so there’s still time to show your support.

Our fundraisers across NSW clocked up more than 3,000km together throughout the month — going the distance for country cancer patients. 🛣️

On behalf of our branch, a huge thank you to every fundraiser, donor and member of our community who helped us do the distance this August. 🫶

👉 Head to www.candothedistance.org.au, select our branch and make a donation.

Save the date for 2027! 🎉Registrations open in July.

You might be seeing Include a Charity Week popping up this week. But what does it actually mean? 🤔💚

Include a Charity Week is a national Australian campaign encouraging people to think about the causes they care about and consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will.

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?

Swipe through to learn more about gifts in Wills and how you can leave a lasting legacy for people affected by cancer in country NSW.

🔎 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.
