Stay Compliant with ACMA

What ACMA Content Rules Regulate in Videos
Australian content regulations require OTT platforms to assess, label, and restrict content based on suitability for different audiences
| Content Category | What It Includes | Ofcom Rule | When It’s Risky | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Offensive Language | Profanity | ⚠️ Context-based | Excessive use | Complaints |
| Sexual Content & Nudity | Nudity, sex | ❌ Restricted | Open access | Compliance breach |
| Violence | Physical, graphic | ⚠️ Suitability-based | High intensity | Viewer risk |
| Drug Use | Substance use | ⚠️Context required | Glorification | Classification risk |
| Hate Content | Abuse, hate speech | ❌ Restricted/prohibited | Targeted use | Legal risk |
| Minors in Content | Adult themes | ❌ Strictly prohibited | Any exposure | Severe penalty |
ACMA Compliance Gets Complex at the Content Level
ACMA content rules make it harder for OTT platforms to consistently identify and control restricted content at scale
How Do You Control Restricted Content Across Videos?Language, nudity, and violence vary by context. Without structured detection, restricted content can slip through and remain accessible without proper controls
How Do You Manage Content for Different Audience Levels?Content suitable for adults may be inappropriate for younger viewers. Without classification, platforms risk exposing sensitive content to the wrong audience
How Do You Detect High-Risk Content Before a Complaint?Not all violations are obvious. Subtle profanity, implied nudity, or contextual harm can still trigger complaints if left unchecked
Manual moderation doesn’t scale. This does.
Apply ACMA compliance rules for OTT platforms across your video library with structured detection and automated checks. Identify restricted content, nudity, profanity, and high-risk video content early, without relying on manual review.
Maintain consistent video content compliance in Australia by controlling what gets published, restricted, or flagged, so your platform stays compliant as your content scales.
