The Employer Reference Group is made up of nurse employers from across Ontario who share information and collaborate on nursing regulatory issues of mutual interest.

The group enhances professional collaboration between nurse employers and the CNO and provides opportunities for education, discussion and consultation related to regulatory issues and accountability.

The main objectives of the Employer Reference Group are to:

  • Discuss and collaborate on regulatory related topics of interest
  • Clarify respective roles related to public protection
  • Identify areas to support employers needs relating to nursing regulation such as policies, standards, guidelines, reporting and professional conduct processes
  • Propose recommendations for consideration related to regulatory work

The Employer Reference group consists of CNO representatives and nursing employers that reflect the diversity of the nursing profession, practice settings and unique populations of the health care system in Ontario.
