Recipient story

We are supporting local cancer patients in a community impacted by cost of living and again by bushfires.
First Nations Support
GIVIT
With the cost of living increasing and our community impacted again by bushfires the need for support is even greater than ever.

A cancer diagnosis for residents of Bega would typically involve multiple trips to Canberra (a 5 hour return trip), or Sydney (an 11 hour return trip). Routine treatments such as CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, surgery and radiotherapy are just not available in Bega. The extra costs associated with travel and accommodation (radiotherapy typically being a daily treatment for up to 6 weeks) can be absolutely crippling for families. Our Bega branch provides financial assistance to such families across travel, accommodation, medical and utilities expenses. We are a grass roots community volunteer charity where every cent we raise in Bega stays in Bega to assist cancer patients there and in nearby towns. Any assistance brings huge relief, not only from a financial perspective but also from an emotional perspective; we look after our community.
