Public Consultations

Consultation: Proposed Bylaws Under the RHPA

As part of our upcoming transition to the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), the Nova Scotia College of Physiotherapists is inviting feedback on its proposed bylaws. These bylaws will support the launch of our new organization, the Nova Scotia Regulator of Physiotherapy, which will come into effect on September 5, 2025.

These proposed bylaws are one component of the broader legislative and regulatory foundation for the new organization, alongside the Regulated Health Professions Act, the General Regulations, and the Profession-Specific Regulations for physiotherapy. Together, these instruments define the governance, duties, and public protection mandate of the regulator.

We welcome comments from registrants, members of the public, and system partners as we work to finalize this key component of our transition to the RHPA framework.

Consultation Period:
July 31 – August 29, 2025

How to Participate:

1. Download the proposed bylaws here
2. Send your comments or questions to info@nsphysio.com by August 29, 2025.

The finalized bylaws will be considered for approval at the first meeting of the board under the RHPA on September 5, 2025.

All feedback provided is kept confidential.  Individuals names are not connected with specific feedback.
