The CMO was established with the proclamation of the Regulated Health Professions Act and the Midwifery Act on December 31, 1993 to govern midwifery in the interest of public safety by:

• Regulating the practice of the profession and governing members according to legislation, regulations, and by-laws
• Setting standards of qualification for persons to be issued certificates of registration
• Developing, establishing, and maintaining standards of professional ethics for the members
• Responding to complaints from the public regarding midwifery practice

The College is directed by a Council comprised of members of the public appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and registered midwives, elected from the College's membership. The Council has the following statutory committees: Executive, Registration, Quality Assurance, Fitness to Practice, Client Relations, Complaints, and Discipline.

Council meetings are open to the public. They are held regularly throughout the year at the College office. Contact the College to confirm meeting time and locations.
