As part of DBCA system modernisation work, our WACensus database and associated Max Species Database Helper application are scheduled for decommissioning. Work is progressing on replacement applications and data paths. While we complete this migration, WACensus taxon name updates compatible with the Max application will be provided here on a 1–3 monthly basis.

During the phase-out, we will supplement the Max-specific Microsoft Access-based database files with equivalent CSV files containing the same data. These will coexist for as long as possible, allowing clients time to transition to the new file formats.

Once WACensus and Max are retired, we will discontinue support for the Access-based database files, leaving only the CSV equivalents. Rest assured, these CSV files will be generated from the new applications, and we will strive to keep them as consistent as possible during this transition.

As of Wednesday, 22 May 2024, we no longer accept registrations for the Max software. Registered Max users can continue to download and use the Census updates, but the application is no longer available for download. Registered users may request a copy of the application using the contact form in the menu.

November 2025 update: 

WA Census is scheduled for decommissioning on 15 December 2025. As preparation towards it decommissioning, updates to WA Census have ceased from beginning of October 2025 as the transition to a new taxonomic register is underway. From 30 November 2025 onwards, the Max-specific Microsoft Access-based (MDB) database files will no longer be available and will be replaced with CSV alternatives from Nomos, the new taxonomic register. 

While efforts will be made to have the equivalent data fields in the CSV as in the WA Census-based MDB files, there will be additional and potentially alternative data fields. We will aim to provide documentation on the changes to assist users in interpreting the changes.
