Wrapping up our BakeWest 20-year celebration

🏆 Best Cake for Regional and Support Services (RSS)

Congratulations to Bridget de Bijl (RSS, Bunbury), whose winning creation featured vanilla cupcakes topped with Biscoff buttercream, beautifully decorated with miniature PathWest elements – blood films, agar plates, Heparin tubes, and Vitros slides – showcasing the diverse work across RSS. The design also incorporated the PathWest logo and our 2005–2025 20-year anniversary theme.

🏆 Overall Winner

Congratulations to Abi Hague (FSH Network Specimen Collection), who received the most votes with her stunning tribute to the vital role of phlebotomists – the first point of co in ntact in a patient’s diagnostic journey. The arm undergoing venepuncture symbolises the start of testing, where skill, empathy, and care set the tone for accurate outcomes. Featuring 20 handmade vials to mark 20 years of PathWest, this cake honours the dedication of our specimen collection teams. Kay Stone (Forensic Pathology) came in second with her creative cake illustrating the PathWest journey, and Monica Kemp (Immunology) came in third with her pathology request–themed cake.

Thank you to all teams who participated in PathWest’s BakeWest and made this milestone celebration extra special.

Recognising the collaborative efforts of PathWest’s Forensic Biology Department and the Western Australia Police Force in a major cold case breakthrough.

A 52-year-old man has been sentenced to over 20 years in prison for a series of violent sexual assaults committed in the 1990s – thanks to the use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) in Western Australia.

More than 30 years later, using ground-breaking IGG techniques and the expertise of PathWest’s Forensic Biology Department, the investigation was able to progress and Michael Anthony Woodhall was identified as the suspect.

Woodhall later pleaded guilty to 16 serious offences. This was the first time IGG was used in a criminal investigation in Australia to help identify a suspect and formally charge them with a crime.
