The Discipline Committee adjudicates specified allegations of professional misconduct referred to the committee by the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee and conducts hearings in accordance with the rules of procedure under the Statutory Powers Procedure Act, 1990.

The Discipline Committee makes final decisions based on the evidence presented and imposes penalties, including reprimands, fines, suspension of licenses and, in serious cases, revocation of licenses.

The maximum penalty the Discipline Committee may impose under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, is revocation of a licence with no possibility of reinstatement for five years.

Discipline decisions are posted under a member’s profile in the public register and are summarized in CCO’s annual reports.
