Submissions and Briefs

SAC actively advocates for your role. Part of this involves completing government submissions and technical briefs.

We’re stronger when we work together. Speech-Language & Audiology Canada is diligent in its efforts to help speech-language pathologists, audiologists and communication health assistants make real and lasting contributions to the health of Canadians.

A critical piece of SAC’s strategic plan is to advocate on behalf of our professions. SAC is actively involved in a number of advocacy and government relations’ activities to ensure that the unified voice of communication health professionals is considered as part of public policy discussion/decision-making both for the health and wellbeing of Canadians and for the benefit of practice and education in speech-language therapy and audiology.
