Governing Legislation

Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991
The Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA), which came into force on December 31, 1993, and amended in June 2007, provides a common legislative framework under which all regulated health professions in Ontario must function. Currently 28 health professions are regulated under the RHPA.

The underlying objectives of the RHPA are:
  • To protect the public from harm and from unqualified, incompetent or unfit providers;
  • To promote safe, high quality care;
  • To make regulated health professions accountable to the public;
  • To provide patients/clients access to health-care professionals of their choice;
  • To achieve equality and consistency by requiring all regulated health professions adhere to the same purposes, procedures and public interest principles;
  • To treat individual patients/clients and health professionals in an equitable manner.

RHPA assigns duties and responsibilities to:

    The Minister of Health and Long-Term Care;
    The Colleges that regulate health professions;
    The Health Professions Regulatory Advisory Council; and
    The Health Professions Appeal and Review Board.
