Can Assist

Can Assist We provide financial assistance, practical support and accommodation to cancer patients in country NSW. Cancer does not discriminate.

We provide our services to bridge the gap between city and country cancer patients, giving people with cancer in rural, regional and non-metropolitan areas in NSW the opportunity to have fair and equitable access to cancer care and support services. The impact it has on the patient and their loved ones is significant beyond words. Country cancer patients are faced with an even bigger hurdle in their cancer journey: distance and access to services. Through the hard work and dedication of our volunteers across NSW and the generosity of individuals and communities, Can Assist is able to make a real difference to country families affected by cancer.

🐴 Stop scrolling. The horses have something very important to say.
..Actually, they don’t. But we do. 👀

For people living in regional, rural and remote NSW, accessing cancer treatment can come with extra barriers that aren’t always obvious from the city. It can mean more travel. More fuel. More time away from work and family. And more costs that can quickly add up. For some people, these added costs can make accessing the treatment they need even harder.

Can Assist helps people affected by cancer with some of these practical and financial challenges. 💚

A small monthly donation can help us continue providing this support to people in country NSW.

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

We’re a network of 60 volunteer-run branches across country NSW, with locals supporting locals affected by cancer.

Together, our branches help ease some of the financial pressure that can come with cancer treatment, providing support through the communities that know their people best.

You can help us keep saying, “Yes, we Can Assist.” Every donation, big or small, helps us continue being there for people in country NSW when they need us most.

For people affected by cancer, getting home after treatment can mean more than just walking through the front gate. It can mean being back with family, pets, sleeping in your own bed and being somewhere familiar.

🏠 It means being home.

Can Assist is here to help country people through the journey, and back home again. 💚

🛣️⛽ For people living in country NSW, the experience of cancer care can look different from town to town. Depending on where you live, treatment may involve extra travel, time away from home or added practical costs.

Being breast aware can help with early detection. Knowing how your breasts normally look and feel makes it easier to notice a new or unusual change and get it checked. Finding breast cancer early provides the best chance of surviving the disease.

⛽ 🛣️ 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.

🐔 Well, someone’s having a fabulous hair day!

We hope this brings a smile to many faces today. We know cancer can bring plenty of serious and difficult days, and sometimes, a moment of joy can make all the difference. ☀️

Can Assist has 60 local branches across NSW, run by dedicated volunteers who understand the importance of being there for their communities. Sometimes that support looks like practical help. Sometimes, it’s a cup of tea, a friendly chat or a warm hug when someone needs it most. 🫶

Because support isn’t always about the big things. Sometimes, it’s simply about bringing warmth, kindness and comfort when it’s needed most. 💚
