About the SA Classification Council
The role of the South Australian Classification Council (SACC) is supplementary to that of the national Classification Board. South Australia participates in a national scheme for the classification of films, publications and computer games. These items, if required to be classified, are classified by the national Board. That classification applies in South Australia, unless the SACC or the Attorney-General changes it.
Members of the public who are concerned about the classification of an item available in South Australia can complain first to the national Classification Board, at www.classification.gov.au.
If you are not satisfied with the response from the Classification Board, you can also complain to the Council about a film, videotape, publication or computer game. The Council can consider the complaint and can decide whether to classify the item differently.
To complain to the Council, contact the Registrar at:

Please ensure that you clearly identify the item, and give details of what your concern is. The Council will consider your complaint and decide whether a change of classification is needed.
If your complaint is about some other item, such as a television program, music lyrics, advertisement, or internet site, see ‘Making a complaint’ (pdf 44kb). The Council can only deal with films, publications and computer games.
For details of who is on the Council and its work in recent times, see the 2008-2009 annual report (PDF 34Kb)
For an explanation of the process for classification, relevant legislation and how to check the classification of specific items see 'Classisification Process and Legislation' (52kb pdf).
