Can Assist Tamworth

We provide financial assistance, practical support and accommodation to country people in NSW affected by any type of cancer. Cancer does not discriminate.

https://canassist.org.au/ways-to-give/donate-to-a-branch/ 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.

🔦 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. 💚

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.
