Office of Film and Literature Classification

The Office of Film and Literature Classification is an Australian government agency responsible for reviewing and rating movies, TV shows, video games, and publications. Its role is to ensure that content is appropriate for different audiences by assigning age-based classifications or ratings. This helps consumers, especially parents, to make informed choices about what is suitable to watch or read. The agency assesses content based on guidelines related to violence, language, drug use, and other factors, balancing freedom of expression with community standards and protecting audiences from potentially harmful material.
