How can people have confidence that the material included on the RC Content list is properly classified?
The RC Content list will be compiled based on public complaints to the ACMA, which will be assessed using existing criteria set out in the National Classification Scheme. Where the material is found to be RC, it will be added to the list. The ACMA will add the specific internet addresses (URLs) of known child abuse material through sharing lists with highly regarded international agencies after an assessment of the rigour of the processes used by these agencies to compile their lists. The Government will immediately undertake public consultation, based on the consultation paper that is available on the Department’s website, on additional measures to improve the accountability and transparency of processes that lead to Refused Classification-rated material being placed on the RC Content list.
