Approved Notices
To ensure consumers receive information about the meaning of the classifications before they select a film or computer game product, there is a statutory requirement to display an approved notice at cinemas and DVD, video and computer game retail and hire premises.
It is a requirement that a person who sells or publicly exhibits a classified film, or sells, hires or publicly demonstrates a computer game, must keep a notice in the approved form about classification for films and computer games on public display in a prominent place. Such notices are approved by the Director of the Classification Board under subparagraph 53(b)(ii) of the Classification (Publication, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995.
In order to be prominently displayed, it is recommended that the approved notice be displayed at the point of sale, such as on the counter or at the cashier.
The Director of the Classification Board has approved the notice in two forms and in different sizes.
