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
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and community supporters. We thank them for their contribution.

Today we launch our Christmas Appeal to raise much needed funds for people across rural and regional NSW who struggle to afford the rising costs of a cancer diagnosis.
Can Assist ensures that people don't have to make cost saving choices at this time and can receive equitable access to cancer treatment no matter where they live.
Please give generously to support our appeal as every $ helps someone in your area.
