You will be notified by email of the decision regarding your application for registration and the reason(s) for the decision. Under section 31(3) of the Health Professions Act (HPA), if your application was refused, deferred, or approved with conditions or limitations, you have the right, within 30 days of receiving the notice, to request a review of the decision.

You must request your review in writing (email is acceptable), setting out the reason(s) why your application for registration should be approved with or without conditions, and then send it to the Registrar.

The Registrar will then convene a sub-committee of the ACSLPA Council, who will review your application. You will be notified within 30 days of the place, date, and time of the review, and of any applicable fees for the review. Please note that there is a $100 fee to apply to Council for a review of a registration decision under section 31 of the HPA. This fee will be refunded if the outcome of the review overturns the original decision.

Following the review, a written decision will be provided to you regarding the appeal committee’s decision.
