💙 Men's Health Week is a chance to start important conversations and support the health and wellbeing of men and boys in our community.

When it comes to cancer, early detection can save lives. Knowing the signs and symptoms, keeping up with regular health checks, and speaking to a doctor when something doesn't feel right are simple steps that can make a big difference.

While Men's Health Week shines a spotlight on these conversations, looking after your health is important all year round. Take a moment to check in with yourself, a mate, your dad, brother, partner, colleague, or neighbour.

A simple conversation could encourage someone to book that appointment, seek support, or get something checked sooner rather than later.

Just a little reminder to check in on your people. 💛

Send the text. Make the call. Drop in for a cuppa. Invite them for a walk.

When someone's going through a tough time, it's often the little things that mean the most. A simple "How are you going?" can remind someone they're not alone.

To all our volunteers and supporters who continue to look out for one another — thank you.

❤️💛🖤 We are proud to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and families facing cancer within our local community.

This National Reconciliation Week, we reflect on this year’s theme, All In — a reminder that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility, and meaningful change happens when we all show up, listen, learn and walk together.

We acknowledge the strength, resilience and knowledge of First Nations peoples, and remain committed to supporting communities with compassion, connection and cancer care close to home.

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.

Bowel cancer is one of Australia's most common cancers, yet many people are unaware of the signs and symptoms until it's too late.

This month is a reminder to listen to your body, prioritise screening, and seek medical advice if something doesn't feel right.

Early detection can save lives.
Awareness can save lives.
Conversations can save lives.

Because cancer doesn't wait - and neither should we 💛

One routine scan. One appointment she attended alone. Four words that changed everything.

At just 28 years old, Kate discovered a lump and believed it was likely hormonal. Instead, she was diagnosed with grade 3 hormone-receptive breast cancer.

What followed was surgery, fertility preservation, chemotherapy, radiation, uncertainty, and the reality that many regional Australians face every day when navigating cancer treatment.

For Kate, treatment wasn't simply about appointments and recovery. It meant long drives, travel costs, time away from home, and the additional challenges that come with living in regional NSW.

Today, Kate is cancer-free.

Her story is a powerful reminder that cancer can affect anyone, at any age, and that access to support can make an enormous difference during treatment.

Thank you to for sharing Kate's story and helping shine a light on the realities faced by regional Australians living with cancer.

Please take a moment to read, share and help raise awareness.
Every share helps another person understand why support services for regional cancer patients matter.

📣National Volunteer Week (18–24 May)

Thank you to every one of our wonderful Can Assist volunteers. This week, we recognise and celebrate the time, care and heart you give to supporting locals affected by cancer across country NSW. 💛

Volunteering Australia's 2026 theme, Your Year to Volunteer, celebrates the contribution of volunteers and encourages people to dedicate time to meaningful volunteer work.
