At its meeting on June 16, 2023, the Council of the College of Psychologists passed a motion to circulate proposed amendments to By-Law 18: Fees to the membership. According to the Health Professions Procedural Code under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, amendments to this By-law must be circulated to members 60 days before it is approved by Council [94(1)(s), 94(2)]. If you wish to comment on the proposed amendments, we would appreciate hearing from you by Friday, August 18, 2023 so your feedback can be included in the Council discussions at its next meeting.
The College has not raised membership fees since 2002.
After careful consideration by the Finance and Audit Committee, Executive Committee, and Council, an increase in membership fees is proposed. Annual membership fees for Autonomous Practice Certificates and Interim Autonomous Practice Certificate will increase to $1200, Academic Certificates to $600, and all other membership fees by 25% effective June 1, 2024. The proposed fee increases are required to maintain adequate financial resources for the College to fulfill its public protection mandate. Consultation feedback will be considered within the College’s mandate to serve the public interest.
A full discussion of the amendments, a copy of the By-law 18: Fees showing the proposed changes and a survey to provide feedback may be found at:
