About AllyBarratt

Cure Brain Cancer Foundation is an Australian-based organisation, which is working globally to rapidly improve brain cancer survival. The Foundation’s mission is to increase five-year brain cancer survival from the current 20 per cent to 50 per cent by 2023 with a vision to ultimately find a cure for brain cancer. Brain cancer kills more children than any other disease in Australia. It also kills more people under 40 in Australia than any other cancer. The survival rates are low and have hardly changed for 30 years, despite significant increases in survival for Australians diagnosed with other types of cancer, such as prostate and breast cancer. Treatment is challenging because it affects our most vital organ. Brain cancer costs more per person than any other cancer, yet only receives a small fraction of federal government cancer research funding. This year the PEXA Team joined Sophie’s Walk 4 Brain Cancer, who is a very close friend of mine. Sophie has fought the long fight of Brain Cancer for the past 5 years with an inoperable Brain Tumor. From the words of her brother, Sam, “If you want to know the definition of strength, look no further than Sophie Harris”.  We gathered with friends, family and a few of our PEXA members, at Largs Bay Beach, and we walked 5 km together to Semaphore Beach and back again. Congratulations and well done to Sophie, who has raised just over $3,000.00 this year which will be going towards brain cancer research, advocacy and awareness.  If you would like to make a donation, please visit:  https://my.walk4braincancer.com.au/walk4braincancer-2020/pexa-team-sa   Special thanks to: @AllyBarratt @mkelly @Egreen  @LaurenRacioppi  @BettyBouras & Maria Mignone   Ally Barratt PEXA Direct Specialist (SA)   ...

Backpacks 4 SA Kids exists to provide resources that contribute to the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people during periods of dislocation from home and routine care. They are currently assisting well over 4,500 children per year who are in need. Their aim is to provide a backpack full of useful items that these children, can call their own, providing reassurance and comfort from their changing worlds. The backpacks they provide help to relieve some of the stress and anxiety children face when they are removed from their family, often in traumatic situations and without the opportunity to take any personal belongings with them. All work in the organisation is undertaken in their warehouse by volunteers who sort, store and pack donated goods into backpacks, one of which goes to each child.  This month the SA PEXA Team joined one of their volunteer Packing & Sorting Sessions, where we were encouraged to visualise the child receiving the backpack to help us create something special for each one. Together we packed 16 special backpacks, that will be going out to children in need this week. 💙   Clothing, toys, books & other donations can be made, or you can volunteer your time too, just visit www.backpacks4sakids.org for all of the information.   ...

This has seen them jump leaps and bounds to over 200 Transfer Transactions for early 2020. 🥳👏  Jacqui Pawelski 👩🏻‍💻 came up with the idea for her and her team to do a 12 week wellness program for the start of the new decade. They have a weekly group personal training session and a private group chat with their trainer and a nutritionist where they can share videos and advice on eating well, drinking enough water, and getting enough sleep etc. Jacqui says that “We have a lot of fun and it has been fabulous for our culture. The Team are really enjoying it.” Where can I sign up Jacqui?? ✍️🧘🏻‍♀️ It just goes to show all the team spirit that shines through their business every day, and their determination to continue their e-Conveyancing journey, “We had our first week where all of our settlements were done on PEXA. Maddie (one of the team and settlement attendees) was very happy not to have to go down to settlements.” 💻💜 No hidden immunity idol’s here, Smart Tribe are in it to win it. 🔥   ... View more

Congratulations to Mead Robson Steele for reaching 200 PEXA Settlements just before the Christmas and New Year’s break. 🥳👏   Katie Barrow 👩🏻‍💻 reflects on how PEXA has improved the Settlement experience for her and her clients:   “We appreciate the PEXA team with helping Mead Robson Steele to become familiar with the platform. Our clients have responded well to PEXA; particularly with the clearance of funds and settlement settling before the Land Titles Office paper settlements on settlement day. We have really enjoyed the cut-back on travel to the Land Titles Office as we are based in Mount Barker.”    Well done Katie on this marvelous achievement, which is a real reflection on all your hard work. 💻💜    ...

Hey guys, It’s been an awesome first week on the job as SA’s newest PEXA Direct Specialist. I have spent my last few days in training with the team here in Adelaide and heading out to meet some of our members. These initial meetings, even with people I’ve known a long time, has by far been my favourite part of my induction. It is great to see so many PEXA advocates in the community who are excited about and using the PEXA platform, and impressive just how far and wide it is actually being used! 💻📚 Being a Registered Conveyancer who has worked closely with the platform, I hope to bring a familiar face and an open ear to all PEXA members. I have been there before, and walked along the same path as many of you, so I understand the complexities from both the practitioner and panel member perspectives. 👂✍️ Over the next few weeks I look forward to meeting many more of you and helping you on your own PEXA journeys! 💜🤓 Ally Barratt Ally.Barratt@pexa.com.au ...
