Welcome

 A very warm welcome to the Can Assist web site. The purpose of Can Assist is to provide assistance and care to cancer patients and their families through our network of branches and accommodation facilities. Each year more than $1.8 million goes directly to supporting people with cancer in rural NSW through:

  • Direct financial assistance to support individuals and families facing difficulties because of cancer; for accommodation, travel, equipment, treatment, wigs and other items.
  • Subsidised accommodation and specialised care at the Jean Colvin Hospital in Sydney and through Ecclesbourne (Sydney) and Lilier Lodge (Wagga Wagga).

    In this web site you will find information about and how to access our services, ways in which YOU Can Assist people living with cancer through donations, volunteering and events, latest news and media coverage of Can Assist. There is also a members area for branches to access the latest information relevant to them.

    We look forward to assisting you in ways that are appropriate to you and thank you for your support of our valuable services!

    "So what a shocker,
    we've got cancer
    And we live at Bullabaree
    There's not much here for treatment mate
    Not the city mate, it's country."
