Pre-authorized Automatic Debit (PAD) Payment Plan

Thanks to the feedback received from registrants interested in a payment plan, ACSLPA will be introducing a plan for 2026 renewal. Beginning in November 2024, regulated members will have the option to sign up for PAD in the Member Login Area. If you sign up before January 15, 2025 and make 10 payments of $87.60 on the 15th of each month from January to October, you will not owe any additional fees when you renew for 2026 in November or December 2025. Additional information will be forthcoming this fall.

Council Meeting Highlights

On June 8, ACSLPA Council met in Edmonton. Here are just a few highlights from the meeting:
  • Pivotal Research presented their Registered Member Engagement Report (a summary of the survey results will be published on ACSLPA's website in the fall).
    • An updated fee schedule was approved with no changes to the 2026 & 2027 renewal fees rates that were announced last June. Click here to see the updated fee schedule.

    Practice Permit Reminder

    A quick reminder to regulated members - Section 36(5) of Alberta's HPA, requires that health professionals show their practice permit upon request, or display it where they provide professional services.

    Key College Documents

    It's that time of year when there will be new support personnel that are graduating and looking for work.

    We encourage you to take the time to review the Speech-Language Pathologists’ and Audiologists’ Guideline for Working with Support Personnel, and Standard of Practice 4.4 - Clinical Supervision as a refresh and to answer any questions you may have .
    ACSLPA Essentials will not be published in July!
    The next Essentials will be sent in late August.


    Enjoy the summer!
