About us
Refused-Classification.com came about due to the continuing limits that are being imposed on what we can see in Australia.
The site was launched in April 2002, with the aim of documenting the history of Australian film censorship since the 1971 introduction of the R-rating.
Since then we have added databases for games, adult films, books, and magazines.
