About the Proposed Standard

Background

The College of Physiotherapists of Ontario is seeking comments on one draft Standard of Practice:

  1. Supervision

On June 24, 2025, the Board approved the Supervision Standard to go out for a 60-day consultation to registrants, our partners and the public. After the consultation closes, the Board will take into account the feedback received and decide whether to approve the Standard for use.

What does the Proposed Standard Cover?

The purpose of the proposed Supervision Standard is for physiotherapists to be responsible and accountable for services provided by support personnel working under their supervision, or their supervisees.  

Physiotherapists must provide appropriate supervision according to their patient’s needs, the supervisee’s skills and competences, and the context of their practice. 

This would amalgamate and replace two existing College Standards: (1) the Working With Physiotherapy Assistants (PTAs) Standard, and (2) the Supervision Standard. 

We Want to Hear from You

The College welcomes your input. Please review the proposed standard and provide your feedback by Saturday, August 23, 2025.

Please note: 

  • The feedback will help us determine if any changes to the Standard are needed. 
  • The Standard will be presented to the Board alongside the feedback for approval. 
  • Feedback will be presented in summary form. Feedback from individuals will be kept anonymous. Feedback on behalf of organizations will include the name of the organization, unless you would prefer otherwise.
