It is illegal and an offence under the Health Professions Act to work or volunteer in your profession in 2024 until you have a practice permit and can verify your registration status on the ACSLPA website (see Verify Registration). Working without a valid practice permit constitutes unprofessional conduct and may subject an individual to disciplinary action, fine or injunction.

If your renewal is not complete and fees paid in full before the deadline your practice permit will be suspended. To resume practicing in 2024, you will need to pay your fees plus a $250 application fee.

Receipt and Practice Permit
After ACSLPA has processed your registration, you can print your receipt and practice permit (if applicable) online. Past income tax receipts are available in the system. Under Section 36(5) of the Health Professions Act, a regulated member must make their practice permit available for inspection upon request. In addition to your printable practice permit, registration can be confirmed in the ACSLPA Public Register.
After your fees are paid in full you have an option to purchase an 8 ½” by 11” practice permit certificate through the ACSLPA website for $10, including shipping. Click here to purchase.
Registered members who do not intend to renew are asked to indicate their intention by logging into the online system and choosing the ‘Archived’ category. This process only takes a few minutes and once your registration is archived, ACSLPA will discontinue sending renewal reminders.
Registered members who are retiring may be eligible for the Retired/Honourary membership; for further information, visit the Fee Schedule and contact the ACSLPA office.
