What College Of Audiologists And Speech-Language Pathologists Of Ontario does

The College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO) is a statutory regulatory body established in 2009 under Ontario's Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 and the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Act, 1991. It regulates over 4,900 audiologists and speech-language pathologists practicing in Ontario, holding exclusive authority to issue certificates of registration and enforce the protected professional titles. The college is headquartered in Toronto and operates with 11-50 staff under a board comprising elected professionals, academic members, and government-appointed public members. Its mandate is public protection through registration, standards-setting, quality assurance, and a formal complaints and discipline process.

CASLPO delivers its mandate through a digital platform centered on a public-facing Public Register (publicregister.caslpo.com), a secure Registrant Portal (members.caslpo.com), and supporting digital tools including a Self-Assessment Tool hosted on skilsure.net, an interactive Consent Tool e-learning module in English and French, and a Mentorship Self Assessment Tool (MSAT). The college maintains a comprehensive Standards and Resources Library covering audiology practice, SLP practice, code of ethics, consent, advertising, records, supervision, security and privacy, and conflict of interest. Operational services include a Complaints Process with Alternative Dispute Resolution, Sexual Abuse Prevention Program with therapy funding for victims, and patient-facing resources in over 10 languages including Indigenous languages.

The college's revenue model is based on registration and renewal fees across multiple certificate categories (General, Initial, Non-Practising, Academic, Emergency, and Cross Provincial Practice), supplemented by application and CETP Exam fees for prospective registrants and mentorship program fees. CASLPO is a member of Ontario Health Regulators, a collaborative body of Ontario's health profession regulators. The college publishes a 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, a 2025 Annual Report, and a regular newsletter (The Wave), and operates YouTube and Facebook channels for public outreach. Discipline decisions, enforcement actions against unregistered persons, and public consultations on policy changes form part of its ongoing regulatory activity.
