About
Refused-Classification.com was launched in April 2002 to document the history of Australian film censorship. Since then, we have added databases and timelines for games, adult films and publications.
We aim to archive as much detail as possible about every title in these databases.

Are you a distributor or a filmmaker?
To expand our archive, we would like to hear from distributors and filmmakers who have had dealings with the Censorship/Classification Board.
We are also looking for background information about any of the distributors that are mentioned on the site.
Can you identify these films?
Review our pages of unidentified movies and see if you can match them with an IMDb link. Many of these alternative titles may have only been used in Australia.
