The members of CAASPR believe that there is merit in working together on matters related to their mandate to regulate the practice of audiology and speech-language pathology in Canada, while maintaining the intact authority and regulatory autonomy of each member.
CAASPR addresses common regulatory issues on a national level to advance the practice and regulation of audiology and speech-language pathology in Canada. CAASPR facilitates the sharing of information and building of consensus on regulatory issues in order to assist member regulators in fulfilling their mandate of protecting the public interest.
The members of CAASPR work together:
- To enhance the activities of the regulatory authorities by serving as a national centre for knowledge and awareness and by being a forum to discuss regulatory issues, trends, policy and legislation
- To provide leadership and promote preferred regulatory practices and standard approaches on issues such as licensure, accreditation, examination, continuing competence, inter-jurisdictional mobility, scope of practice, standards of practice, codes of ethics and specialty designation
- To ensure that provincial regulatory bodies and other organizations of interest are aware of the Alliance, its mission and mandate
- To track and report on interprovincial, national and global issues related to the regulation of the professions and to establish external liaisons where appropriate
- To identify those advisory, research and support services to be made available to its regulatory authority members
- To assist other provinces and territories to become regulated
- To monitor the effectiveness of the Alliance in alignment with its purpose, objectives and guiding principles
The Board of Directors is made up of two representatives from each province. Designates will typically include the council/board President/Chair and Registrar/Executive Director, or designate, of each regulatory member organization.
