Yass Valley BRANCH
Southern NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Yass Valley was formed in 2004. Funds are raised to provide financial assistance to people in Yass town, nearby villages and surrounding rural areas who are undergoing cancer treatment. Typically each year the twenty five or so members and supporting organisations raise and distribute in the order of $60,000 to approximately fifty patients.
Areas Serviced: Berremangra, Bevendale, Binalong, Bookham, Bowning, Burrinjuck, Cavan, Dog Trap Crossing, Good Hope, Goondah, Gundaroo, Jerrawa, Kangiara, Manton, Murrumbateman, Nanangroe, Rye Park, Springrange, Sutton, Tangmangaroo, Wallaroo, Wee Jasper, Woolgarlo, Yass
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.

Can Assist Port Macquaire Branch offers local care, practical support and community spirit for Port Macquarie patients.
Our branch was re-established in September 2026 after a group of passionate locals recognised the need for cancer support in their community.
For Branch Committee members Mal and Alison, bringing Can Assist back to Port Macquarie is more than just a community initiative - it's deeply personal. Mal understands first-hand the impact a cancer diagnosis can have on individuals and their loved ones, and how much practical support can mean during such a challenging time.
Having received assistance from Can Assist himself, Mal and Alison were inspired to give back and help ensure other local families could access the same support when they need it most.
Today, alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, the Port Macquarie Branch is working hard to raise funds locally so people affected by cancer can receive practical financial assistance, particularly with the costs of travelling for treatment.
Because when cancer touches someone in our community, no one should have to face the journey alone. That's what Can Assist Port Macquarie is here for.
Together, We Can Assist
