The Australian Classification Board (ACB)

The ACB review: films, video games and some publications and consider three principles when viewing content: 

• • enabling adults to have choice in what they read, hear, see and play 

  • respecting people who may not want to see material they find confronting 

  • protecting children from inappropriate content.
    
    

The board is bound by the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 that:

‘…requires the Board to consider matters including community standards, the nature of the content and whether it has any artistic or educational value, and who the intended audience is.’
