Movies, TV programmes and games are rated by the Classification Office. Check the rating to make sure it’s suitable for your child's age. Shows made for sites like Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime are not rated. If you’re not sure if a show is suitable, watch it yourself first.

Streaming and video on demand (VOD)

If you see something on a streaming service, on demand, or in a game that may be inappropriate for children:

• Have a look at the parental controls offered on the platform. They are usually in the profile settings. For more information see Taking control: How to make the most of parental controls(external link) – The Classification Office’s guide to parental controls for some of the main providers, for example Netflix, NEON, Lightbox, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and gaming sites like Steam, PlayStation and Nintendo.
• If you have already set parental control and laid a complaint with the provider and the content is still easily accessible to children, email info@classificationoffice.govt.nz.
