Peak Hill BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Peak Hill was formed in 1992. The branch is dedicated to supporting anyone in our community affected by cancer. While only a small team here in a small town, we are well supported by the community. Our main source of funding currently comes from the can and bottle refund scheme.
Areas Serviced: Mungery, Peak Hill, Tomingley, Trewilga
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.
Upcoming Events
There are no upcoming events.
Areas Serviced: Mungery, Peak Hill, Tomingley, Trewilga

Timeline photosSurgery in Sydney (1,100km return), 4 treatments of chemotherapy, 17 treatments of radiotherapy and infusions every 3 weeks in Wagga Wagga (260km return) over a 12 month period meant Anna clocked up hundreds of hours of travel. The financial stress and the added emotional strain of being apart from family whilst dealing with a life-threatening illness can be overwhelming. Anna is now cancer free and is a regular volunteer for Can Assist.
