When you look at the Protected Disclosures Act 2000, you will see a section called section 3. This section is about what certain words mean. You will find a new definition added to it, which is "classified information".

You can find out what "classified information" means by looking at section 78AA of the Crimes Act 1961. This new definition is added to section 3 in the correct order with the other definitions. It is part of the changes made by the Intelligence and Security Act 2017 to the Protected Disclosures Act 2000, which you can read more about by following the link to the Crimes Act 1961.
