ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Australian Classification Board

Okay kiddo, so the Australian Classification Board is a group of grown-ups who look at movies, TV shows, video games and books and decide if they are okay for other kids and grown-ups to see, read, or play with.

They use a special system called the classification system, which has different categories with different age restrictions and content warnings. For example, a movie might be rated G for everyone or PG for older kids who might need their parents to watch it with them.

The board makes sure that all of these things have the right rating so that kids and adults can make good choices about what they watch, read or play. This is important because some things might have violence or scary things in them, and we want to make sure that it's okay for someone at our age to see those things.

So basically, the Australian Classification Board is like a group of adults who help us make good choices about what we watch, read or play.
