Annual Renewal

Please note: The renewal deadline this year is 11:59 PM EDT on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. Registrants may renew their registration online at any time between August 1, 2025, and 11:59 PM EDT on October 1, 2025. 

If you fail to complete your renewal or resign from the College before October 1st at 11:59 pm EDT, a 20% late fee will automatically be added to your annual fee payment.

You will also receive a Notice of Intention to Suspend, and you will be given 30 days to complete the online renewal form and pay the required annual fee and late fee or resign from the College.

If you don’t complete your online renewal and pay the required fees within the given 30-day period, or if you choose not to resign from the College, your certificate of registration will be suspended. This suspended status will be reflected on the College’s Public Register, and your employer will be notified.

No. You need to complete your renewal using CASLPO's online renewal system. If you don't have a computer, here are a few suggestions:

1. Use your smartphone, tablet, or iPad.
2. Use the computer of a family member or a colleague; or
3. Use the computer at your local library.

If your circumstances do not allow you access to the online system, or you need help with your renewal, please contact us at [email protected].  

The annual fee remains the same for 2025-2026:

1. General: $780
2. Academic: $780
3. Initial: $780
4. Non-Practising: $390

No, the annual fee is non-refundable. Fees are not pro-rated, and there are no refunds for practising for only part of the year.

No. You need to complete the renewal form yourself. You are making a legal declaration that someone else cannot do on your behalf.

If you are self-employed or not currently employed, you are required to designate a location as your business address. Although many registrants choose to use their home address for this purpose, you may also use a P.O. Box or a virtual mailbox as your business address.

In circumstances in which a registrant is concerned for the personal safety of a person, the Registrant may request that information (e.g. contact information or practice location) be removed from the public register. If a registrant makes a request to withhold information from the public, the request should clearly identify the safety concerns. The following factors may be taken into consideration when determining next steps in response to these requests:

• Nature and recency of the safety concern(s);
• Risk to the safety of the registrant;
• Risk to vulnerable third parties (e.g. children, family members); and/or
• Involvement of law enforcement, existence of any orders.

Requests to remove information from the public register due to safety concerns should be sent to the Registrar & CEO c/o the Registration Team: [email protected] and should include any of the following information:

1. An explanation of how the appearance of the information (such as the registrant’s name or practice location) has created risk for a person or persons.
2. Details of any threats or incidents.
3. Any documentation that would be of assistance.
4. Details of other measures you have taken to deal with this concern.

You are required to renew based on your current status with CASLPO which is listed in your registrant profile. CASLPO will notify you once your status has been changed from initial to general.

You can find more information about each registration category and changing status at the following links:

• General

After your resignation request has been completed, you will get an email confirmation from the College after October 1.

Please note that if you intend to return to work in Ontario after resigning from the College, you must:

1. submit a complete application. Please be aware that you may be required to provide documentation that was not necessary at the time of your initial College registration application.
2. satisfy all entry-to-practice requirements in effect at the time of your reapplication. This may include completing additional coursework or practicum hours, as well as passing the Canadian Entry to Practice Exam.

As a Reminder: You cannot begin to work or hold yourself out in any way as an Audiologist or Speech-Language Pathologist in Ontario until your general certificate has been reinstated.

If you have moved or plan to move out of the province before the renewal deadline, you have the following renewal options:

• Resignation: Choose this option if you will no longer be practicing in Ontario as of October 1, 2025, and do not plan to return to Ontario in the future, or if you will be practising in another province in Canada.
• Becoming a Non-Practising Registrant: Choose this option if you are relocating to an unregulated jurisdiction in Canada (e.g., the territories) or another country and might return to practice in Ontario in the future.

If you are no longer practising, you may select one of the following options for renewal:

1. Becoming a Non-Practising Registrant: Consider this option if there is a chance that you will return to practise in the future. If you decide to return to work, your General Certificate may be reinstated if you have provided 750 hours of patient care or related work in audiology or speech-language pathology during the three years immediately preceding the date you apply to reinstate your General Certificate and pay any applicable fees. If you have not provided 750 hours of patient care or related work in audiology or speech-language pathology during the three years immediately preceding the date you apply to reinstate your General Certificate, your application the Registration Committee will consider your case and may require you to successfully complete further education and/or training.
2. Resignation: Choose this option if you no longer wish to be a registrant of the College. However, if you later decide that you want to return to work in Ontario, you must:

• Submit a complete application. You may be required to provide documentation that was not necessary at the time of your initial College registration application.
• Satisfy all entry-to-practice requirements in effect at the time of your reapplication. This may include completing additional coursework or practicum hours, as well as passing the Canadian Entry to Practice Exam.
• If you select one of the above options at renewal, you will not be able to practise as of the effective date. You should not change your status if you wish to continue to practise in the new registration period.

Many registrants may retire from their employment but may wish to perform some facet of work in their field. Carefully consider the activities you want to be engaged in before you change your status. Regardless of when in the registration year you retire (once we are beyond the renewal period), there is no pro-rated refund available to you and an application fee may also be applicable if you wish to change your status midway through the registration year.

For detailed information about the Non-Practising Certificate, please visit the Non-Practising Certificate webpage.

If you choose to maintain your General registration while on parental leave, you will need to participate in the Quality Assurance (QA) program, which includes the SAT, CLACs, and Peer Assessment. However, if you renew as Non-practising, you will not be required to complete the QA program.

Professional liability insurance coverage may be obtained through your professional association membership:

• Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC)
• Canadian Academy of Audiology (CAA)

If you are not a member of one of the above-mentioned professional associations, it is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain professional liability insurance coverage that meets the requirements described in College By-law #6.

Please note that CASLPO does not endorse or approve the insurance providers used by registrants. Registrants are responsible for conducting their own research and may do business with any insurance provider that is best suited to their needs.

No. However, ensure prior to making a declaration in the renewal, that the professional liability coverage states the following details:

• Name of Insurance Company
• Policy number
• Name of Insured
• Group identification if insurance covers a group of employees e.g.: "The definition of Insured under this policy includes Audiologists & Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario employed by XXX company"
• Policy period
• Professional Liability Insurance coverage amount (at least $2,000,000 per claim)

If you are a general registrant, you must keep up your insurance while on parental leave.

If you become a non-practicing registrant of the college while on parental leave, professional liability insurance is not required. However, if you return to a general registration status, you must obtain professional liability insurance coverage.

Registrants who work in areas where the need for protection is higher, for example auto insurance and acquired brain injury, might consider maintaining their professional liability insurance if they choose to become non-practicing registrants while on parental leave.

Yes, at registration renewal, registrants declare: "Do you certify that you are covered (either personally or by your employer) by professional liability insurance for a minimum of $2,000,000 per claim for all business locations at which you practice?" This means that if your employer’s insurance does not extend to your private practice, you are required to obtain separate professional liability insurance for your private clients.

Speak to your organization's finance, corporate services and/or human resources department. All regulated health colleges require registrants to have professional liability insurance, so the organization should be able to confirm that they have the required insurance ($2 million per claim) to cover regulated health professionals.

Yes. If you are a general registrant of the College, you are required to have professional liability insurance coverage in the amount required by the College’s by-laws.

For the fourth consecutive year, we will be inviting CASLPO registrants to complete a voluntary Demographic Data Collection Survey to help the College learn about the diversity amongst our registrant base. We expect that the continued collection of this registrant data will allow us to track changes and trends within the professions of audiology and speech-language pathology.

This data will also help us to improve our approaches to supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in terms of how to support registrants’ practice.

We know that some of your answers to the questions may be personal. We want to assure you that while we publicize survey results on the CASLPO website and through presentations, your individual responses are anonymous, are not associated with your profile with the College, and are only reported on as aggregate data.

While responding to these questions will be optional, we do encourage and appreciate your participation.

If you require accommodation during the registration or renewal process, please review our Accommodation Policy for more information.
