When to use it
Use when a film, computer game or publication is to be submitted for classification in Australia. Do not use it as the portal application, and do not treat it as a list of classification categories or of the fee table. The fee-waiver page and the review page were not opened.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may build the file-name and media checklist from the title and the delivery method. The lawyer decides whether to apply, whether to seek priority processing, and whether an embargo is available.
AI may
- Draft the Box file name in the page's pattern, with a hyphen and sentence case, and flag special characters
- List which physical-media items are missing for a DCP, DVD or Blu-ray delivery
- Note whether non-English content that will be distributed in Australia has English subtitles
- Record the priority fee and the working-day periods as the page states them, for the lawyer to accept or refuse
AI must not
- Must not nominate a classification category, consumer advice, or a fee other than the $420 priority amount stated on the page
- Must not say the content is exempt. The exemptions page was not opened
- Must not change an embargo date, or say advertising is permitted while a decision is withheld
- Must not lodge the application
The lawyer checks
- The National Classification Database has been searched before a new application is started
- The file name uses a hyphen, not a slash, and has no special characters
- A priority application is only marked where the extra $420 is to be paid and the materials are complete
- An embargo is used only for a Board application or an accredited classifier, and advertising is not planned while the decision is withheld
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
