About the OACP

Provide opportunities for training and professional development for collaborative professionals. Every collaborative professional is required to have basic collaborative training; we promote continuing learning to benefit professional growth and our clients' experience and outcomes.

Encourage and facilitate the formation of collaborative practice groups throughout the province, and provide support to existing groups. It is important for residents all over Ontario to have access to local collaborative professionals.

Promote information-sharing among collaborative practice groups and their members across the Province of Ontario. Teamwork is not only an intrinsic part of the collaborative process, it is also reflected in the sharing of information, knowledge and experience among collaborative professionals.

Facilitate the development and promotion of professional standards of practice. Every client must be secure in the knowledge that they are working with properly trained, trustworthy professionals.

Represent the collaborative process and collaborative professionals to governmental and regulatory bodies, and promote the support of the collaborative process by government and the courts. We want to share the benefits of the collaborative process with as many people as possible.
