New Classification Names   PDF  Print  E-mail

Office of Film and Literature Classification 

Commencing in May 2005 the new classification types for films and computer games will be G, PG, M, (advisory classifications) and MA15+, R18+, X18+ (restricted classifications). The changes mean that only the classifications that have age-related legal restrictions will use an age description. The classifications R18+ and X18+ will apply to films only.

What is the Review of Determined Markings?

The determined markings are the classification symbols and words that you see in a range of places including on DVD and computer games boxes, and cinema posters. Recent changes to the classification system will create common classification types for films and computer games, requiring new markings. They are expected to come into effect in May 2005.

The purposes of the review are to:
  • Find out the best way to communicate classification information about films and computer games to the public to help them make suitable choices; and
  • Ensure that these markings can be practically applied by the entertainment industry to their products and advertisements.
