Manual Form for Registered Events
This form is to be used for registration of an event under section 6D of the Classification (Publications, Films and
Computer Games) Act 1995 (the Act) and section 9 of the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games)
(Conditional Cultural Exemption Rules) Instrument 2015 (the Conditional Cultural Exemption Rules).
Please complete each step of this form. Fields marked with an * are mandatory.
Reason for using this form
The process of registering your event requires you to certify on behalf of the organisation that the event will
meet certain conditions as contained in Division 2 of Part 1A of the Classification (Publications, Films and
Computer Games) Act 1995 and Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) (Conditional
Cultural Exemption Rules) Instrument 2015. If you do not certify that your organisation will meet these
conditions and criteria, then you will not be able to register your event and you will not be able to legally
screen or exhibit unclassified material during that event.
To complete this form you will need the following resources:
•
Registered Events Factsheet
•
Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games)(Conditional Cultural Exemption Rules)
Instrument 2015
•
Guidelines for the Classification of Films
•
Guidelines for the Classification of Computer Games
•
Guidelines for the Classification of Publications
These can be found on the Registered Events pages of our website. If you are unable to access them online,
please contact the Classification Branch 02 9289 7100 to request copies.
If you are uncertain if your film, computer game or publication has already been classified, then you should
check the National Classification Database which is available at the classification website. If all the films,
computer games or submittable publications have already been classified, then you do not need to register
your event.
Under section 5(6) of the Conditional Cultural Exemption Rules, you are only permitted to use this form to
manually register your event in very limited circumstances. The circumstances include:
(a) disability, serious illness or incapacity of the registering person
(b) being in a remote or other location without functional online access, and
(c) the online registration portal being unavailable.
It does not include running out of time.
The manual registration process is not an alternative to using the Classification Portal. If you do not meet
the circumstances, your event will not be validly registered and you will not be able to legally screen or
exhibit unclassified material during your event. It is your responsibility to maintain records about the reason
for using the manual registration process.
* I understand that my event can only be registered using this manual registration process in very
limited circumstances and confirm that I and/or my organisation meets these.
(Note: if you get a message indicating that the portal is ‘down for maintenance’ you should not use this form but should
use the portal when it becomes available again)
