The dates on which each game will be reviewed are currently being settled with the applicants who originally applied for the classification of the games. The Review Board’s decisions and reasons for those decisions will be published on the classification website (www.classification.gov.au) when the reviews of the games have been completed

If an individual or organisation wishes to make a submission to the Review Board as an interested party to these reviews, please write to the Convenor of the Review Board. The names of interested parties will be disclosed in the Review Board’s final decision report, unless requested otherwise. The closing date to lodge your submissions is COB Thursday 14 November 2013. Please note that the Review Board can only consider submissions about the decisions of the games listed above and not any other matters relating to classification policy or issues generally.
