The Homeopathy Act, 2007, allows for the creation of the Transitional Council of the College of Homeopaths of Ontario (TC-CHO) and the development of a registration process to ensure homeopaths are adequately trained and qualified to practice in Ontario. The transitional Council will develop registration requirements, draft regulation, develop practice standards including what are considered acts of professional misconduct, and put in place other necessary work that will allow the College to fully operate and register members. Once the transitional Council completes its work, the College will have the tools to fully regulate the practice of homeopathy in the public interest. This transitional process will last approximately three years.

The transitional Council is responsible for establishing the College of Homeopathy of Ontario to allow self-regulation of the homeopathy profession within the framework of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA) and the Homeopathy Act, 2007. It has a specific duty to protect the public interest. For more information on regulations click here.

At this time, no person can claim that his/her homeopathic practice is regulated or that he/she is a regulated or registered homeopath in Ontario. The transitional Council has not begun to register any members and will not be in a position to do so until the necessary work is completed and its registration regulation and processes have been drafted and approved by the Government of Ontario. Only at that time will the College be able to accept registration applications. For more information on the TC-CHO click here.

Signing up for this service DOES NOT imply, in any manner, that you are registered with the transitional Council of the College of Homeopaths of Ontario.

The appointment of members of the transitional Council, both public and professional, are made by the Ontario Government, or more specifically, by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, with the process itself being administered by the Public Appointments Secretariat, an agent of the Ontario Government.

Selection of an individual for appointment to the transitional Council is based on the person's expertise, knowledge and experience. The individual may have clinical or academic expertise in the practice of homeopathy, health professional regulation, and health or public administration sector. Persons with a demonstrated interest or experience in public service may also be appointed. Each is expected to serve in his/her individual capacity rather than as a representative of any organization or any interest/advocacy group to which they may belong. Members may be appointed for a one or two year term. They may be reappointed.

The transitional Council is comprised of nine professional members and seven public appointees.
