Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You made an application for a video recording label before this law started. If the labelling body did not give you a label when this law started, they will decide your application under this Act. They will treat it like you applied under section 9. You will get a decision from the new labelling body. The old labelling body will send all your application information to the new labelling body. This will happen as soon as possible.
