Complaints
The complaints, investigations, inquiry, and discipline process is one of the ways the College demonstrates protection of the public.
The College is responsible to accept complaints regarding the conduct or practice of its registrants, and former registrants.
If you are concerned about the practice or conduct of an audiologist or speech-language pathologist but are unsure whether you wish to file a formal complaint, please call the College and speak to the Registrar. Discussion with the Registrar will assist you in determining whether or not you wish to proceed with a formal complaint, or whether there may be an alternate path to resolving the matter.
Making a Complaint
A formal complaint must be submitted in writing. To file a formal complaint, complete the Complaints Form. Once you have completed the form to the best of your ability, send it to the College.
If you require assistance, please contact the College.
