There is no universal definition of a self-regulated profession. There are 40 regulatory bodies in Ontario that share the following characteristics:

• An Ontario statute delegates the authority to the regulatory body to protect the public interest
• Use of a professional designation, or to practice their profession the authority of a regulatory body must be delegated to the regulatory body.
