The Office of Film and Literature Classification (the Office) was set up by the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993. Under section 77 of the Act, the Office is responsible for classifying publications that may need to be restricted or banned. Under section 88 of the Act, the Office is also responsible for disseminating information on censorship law and the censorship system, and dealing with inquiries and complaints from the public.Publications submitted to the Office usually contain text or images that include sex, horror, crime, cruelty or violence. The Classification Office assesses these publications, and will classify them as restricted or objectionable if it thinks that making the publication available to everyone would be harmful, or injurious to the public good.
