Registering,
regulating and setting quality standards
Promoting fairness and respect
Our role is to ensure that the public receives safe, ethical, effective, and high-quality occupational therapy services. We strive to maintain and build your confidence in the Regulator and the profession of Occupational Therapy.
Clients of OTs
When looking for an occupational therapist, it is important to check that they are registered and licensed with the Nova Scotia Occupational Therapy Regulator.
Internationally trained OTs
Internationally-trained applicants must demonstrate that their education, training, and competence are substantially equivalent to that of an occupational therapist educated in Canada.
Submit a complaint
If you have a concern about an occupational therapist, determine whether filing a complaint with the Regulator is the best way to address your concern and to learn how to begin this process.
