The Board may approve or refuse to approve advertisements for publications, films and computer games. In making a decision, the Board must take into account certain matters, including any classification guidelines.

The Director of the Board may require publishers of certain publications, films and computer games to seek approval of advertisements for that material. It is an offence to fail to comply with such a requirement.

The Minister may determine a scheme for advertising unclassified films and computer games, including specifying conditions on which such material may be advertised.

Applications may be made to the Board for an assessment of the likely classification of an unclassified film or computer game for the purpose of advertising the unclassified film or computer game.
