Australia currently has no R18+ rating for video games. This situation restricts freedom of choice, encourages piracy, and places adult material into the hands of children. Find out why.

You can help by spreading the word, writing to your Member of Parliament and making your voice heard for a fairer, safer ratings system. Find out more.

Online Discussion Paper Submissions

Grow Up Australia has put together an online submission form for the R18+ Games Discussion Paper. This form allows you to create a submission for the discussion paper quickly and easily, which will then be collated and sent to the Federal Government in time for the deadline.

You can find the online submission form by clicking here.

This is an excellent move and offers a convenient way to make your voice heard. Please pass it on to as many people as possible so that they can contribute to a safer, fairer ratings system for all Australians.

    just do it

  3. Daniel Crick says:

    The ratings system is out of control. Time and time again they have been inconsistent.

    It makes no sense why we do not have an R18+ rating for games, it is our right as as adult gamers to choose what we want to play. I would rather be able to buy a game in aust rather than import it.

    Adult gamers outnumber there younger counterparts we must get an R18+ rating. We must!!!!!!!!

    By making a game unavailable you are drawing attention to this game that would have just seen its shelf life out maintaining mediocrity.
    Every game refused a classification gains notoriety and money is then going overseas for the imported copy based on the fact “you can’t have it”.
    When trying to protect the underage, you are in fact drawing them toward the very material you are attempting to withhold.

  5. Wesley Mack says:

    R18+ games would be a lot better for Australia rather than ordering it from overseas I mean common parents should know a R18+ rating and then should know “NOT TO BUY FOR UNDERAGE KIDS” and it would be better because Australia would be finally catching up on something.
