DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

When a complaint cannot be resolved through the consensual resolution processes, the Complaints Director may issue a citation for a disciplinary hearing.

In these circumstances, the AOA's Discipline Committee serves as the legal body reviewing the complaint, the investigative findings and the registrant's response to such. At the hearing, the Committee is presented with evidence about the complaint and may decide to either dismiss the complaint or to take specific action as specified in the Health Professions Act such as suspending or cancelling the registrant's registration or imposing fines.

Discipline hearings are open to the public, and all decisions are a matter of public record. To ensure there is adequate seating for all attendees, please notify the AOA at least 1 week before the hearing date at aoa@opticians.ab.ca
