The Australian Classification Board is a government agency responsible for classifying films, video games, and publications in Australia. Its primary role is to ensure that content is suitable for different age groups and to provide guidance to consumers about the material they may encounter. The board uses a classification system that includes categories such as G, PG, M, MA15+, and R18+. The board evaluates content based on various criteria, including themes, violence, language, and sexual content. This classification helps protect children from inappropriate material while allowing adults to access a wider range of content. The Australian Classification Board also promotes informed choices for viewers and consumers.
