The Executive Committee oversees all the work of the College by providing direction to staff; planning and conducting council meetings; representing and exercising the powers of council as necessary; initiating, reviewing, and approving policies and regulations. The Executive Committee has the power to make decisions on behalf of the council with respect to matters that require immediate attention.

The Registration Committee provides direction to the College and the Registrar with regard to the registration processes.

The Quality Assurance Committee develops the standards, policies, guidelines, and regulations for the CMO.

The Fitness to Practise Committee is mandated to protect the public from members who cannot practise safely or competently because of mental or physical incapacity.

The Client Relations Committee develops and implements policies and procedures to prevent sexual abuse of clients and to define appropriate professional relations between the members of the College and their clients.

The Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee investigates public complaints and information the College receives through reports to determine whether there is any evidence of professional misconduct, incompetence, or incapacity. Based on this, the Committee determines whether a hearing is required or if some other action would better serve the public interest.

The Discipline Committee conducts hearings to deal with allegations of a member's professional misconduct or incompetence upon referral from either the Executive or the Complaints Committee. Hearings are conducted in accordance with the Regulated Health Professions Act.
