Removing or Updating Public Register Information

Key Takeaways

• Discipline results must be withheld only if all the conditions in s. 23(11) are met.
• Those conditions include a reprimand-only or fine-only order (or incapacity), more than six years elapsed, and a successful application.
• Sexual abuse findings are excluded.
• Where there is no finding, results are withheld after 90 days unless the member asks otherwise (s. 23(11.1)).

The Section 23(11) Conditions

The Registrar must refuse to disclose a discipline result if all of the following are true:

• the order was only a reprimand or only a fine, or there was a finding of incapacity;
• more than six years have passed since the information was prepared or last updated;
• the member applied for removal because the information is no longer relevant to suitability to practise, and the committee directed removal; and
• the matter does not concern certain forms of sexual abuse.

Correcting Errors

Factual errors on the register should be raised promptly with the Registrar in writing, with supporting documents.
