Oberon BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Oberon was formed in 2009. Our branch has been going strong for over 10 years and thanks to our generous community continues to do so. We have a small committee but we are all dedicated to help people in need when diagnosed with cancer.
Areas Serviced: Black Springs, Burraga, Chatham Valley, Duckmaloi, Edith, Gingkin, Gurnang, Hazelgrove, Jaunter, Jenolan Caves, Kanangra, Mayfield, Mount David, Mount Olive, Mount Werong, Mozart, O’Connell, Oberon, Porters Retreat, Shooters Hill, Tarana, The Meadows, Yerranderie
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.
Our Supporters
Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and supporters both from within the community and further afield. We thank them for their contribution.
Our local football team, Oberon Tigers, every year do a major fundraising day for Can Assist. Each year they seem to raise more money than the year before. This is also with the generous donations from our local businesses.
Upcoming Events
There are no upcoming events.

A big thank you goes out to Peter Harvey and Don Miller who collect bottles and cans from Oberon RSL club and the Oberon Golf club and sort them and cash them in donating all the money raised to Oberon Can Assist. They voluntarily go about this quietly each week and it is very much appreciated by Can Assist Oberon.
If there is anyone out there who might be retired and can spare an hour a week to maybe help them I am sure they would be very grateful. Please let us know and we can put you in touch with them. ... See MoreSee Less
