Assessment of likely classification

To advertise an unclassified film or computer game, it must have undergone an assessment of the likely classification.

An assessment of likely classification can be issued by:

• applying to the Classification Board, or
• using an Authorised assessor.

Pay the fee

The fee is $590. Your application will be processed when we receive your payment.

Submit your application

Applications are submitted via the Classification Portal.

Please submit the correct documentation, content and fees. Any omissions will delay the application.

Include with every application

• a copy of the trailer or computer gameplay footage, if available
• a detailed synopsis of the film or computer game
• details of major cast and credit lists (for films only)
• copy of the game build if available (for computer games only)

Include as many of the following as possible

• details of foreign classification decisions

• ‘sizzle’ reels
• detailed reviews and media comment
• posters and official images
• detailed production notes

The Classification Board may ask for more material if there is not enough information to make an assessment.
