About ratings

G: General

Suitable for everyone. Anything in it that might upset people is very mild.

PG: Parental guidance recommended

Some scenes may upset some people, or may need explaining to children. For example, a sad or tense moment, a mild argument, or a mild swear word. Nothing is strong or detailed.

We show only G and PG

brightTV does not show stories rated M, MA 15 plus or higher.

The short note

Next to the mark is a short note, such as "Mild themes" or "Mild coarse language". It tells you the main things in the story that led to its rating, so you can decide before you start.

You find the mark and the note on each story's page and in "See everything".

Who rates our stories

In Australia, films and series are rated under the National Classification Scheme. Our stories are rated by [Name or role of the person who rates our stories], using the official Australian classification guidelines, before they go on brightTV.

For every story we keep a record of the rating, the short note, the reasons for it, who on our team made the decision and the date they made it. If a rating is changed, the record shows the new decision. We keep the person's name to ourselves.

Exercise classes

Our exercise classes are instructions for gentle movement at home. They do not carry a rating mark.
