Can Assist Junee

14/10/2026

🔦 Can Assist’s mission is to shine a light on people affected by cancer across country NSW. But this National Carers Week, we’re shining a light on the people who care for and support them too.

The 2026 theme, “Care for a carer: Making carers visible,” recognises the invaluable contribution of unpaid carers and encourages us to recognise, support and care for the carers in our families, workplaces and communities.

More than 3 million Australians provide unpaid care to a family member or friend.

At Can Assist, care can take many forms. It might be a volunteer supporting someone in their local community, a family member by their side through treatment, a friend checking in, or a neighbour offering a helping hand. 🫶

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that mean the most: driving someone to an appointment, making a meal, answering the phone or simply being there to listen.

To every carer supporting someone affected by cancer, we see you, we appreciate you and we say thank you. 💚

Can Assist is all about community, and our Charity Race Day is a chance to bring people from across the Riverina together to support local cancer patients and their families. 💚

On Saturday 17 October, join us for a family-friendly day of racing, entertainment and fun at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club.

Every ticket purchased helps Can Assist branches support local cancer patients and their families in Wagga Wagga, Tumbarumba, Junee and across the Canola Way.

When cancer changes everything, having someone nearby who can say “yes, we can help” can make a real difference. 💚

As your local Can Assist branch, we’re here for people in our community when cancer makes life harder. Help with the costs that come with treatment can take some of the pressure off, so people can focus on what matters most.

Help us keep saying yes to locals affected by cancer. Your donation helps us be there for the next person who needs us.

⛽ 🛣️ A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. For people in our community, the challenges can extend beyond treatment itself.

Travel, accommodation, time away from work and everyday expenses can all add up, creating extra practical and financial pressure at an already difficult time.

That’s where Can Assist comes in. 💚

Through our local branch, we help people affected by cancer with practical and financial support, helping ease some of the extra challenges that can come with getting the care they need.

Help us continue to be there for our community.

Share this post to help spread the word about Can Assist and the support available locally.
