The Health Professions Regulatory Advisory Council (HPRAC) was established with the introduction of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA).

Under the legislation, HPRAC has a statutory mandate to advise the Minister on:

• Whether to regulate or de-regulate health professions;
• Suggested amendments to the RHPA and related Acts and their regulations;
• Matters concerning the quality assurance programs of health professional colleges;
• Any matter related to the regulation of health professionals referred by the Minister.

The Council also has a statutory duty to monitor Colleges' Patient Relations Programs.

The Council is comprised of seven public members who are appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council to provide policy recommendations to the Minister.  The Council endeavours to be independent of stakeholders, and to provide well-documented proposals in the formulation of public policy for the Minister's consideration.
