Access Members Only Site

OCSA Members can access exclusive resources, tools, information and policy updates.

Membership

OCSA was formed in 1992, when three legacy home and community support organizations realized that they would have a greater impact and speak with a more powerful voice if they worked together. Today, our members has grown to over 225 not-for-profit organizations of all sizes, providing a wide variety of health and wellness services.

Member Benefits



Full OCSA membership includes the following benefits:

Representation

OCSA is the go-to source for information about the home and community support sector in Ontario. Our staff, board and members represent the sector at provincial advisory tables and working groups. 

Communication

OCSA receives regular updates on developments in the sector from the provincial government and other stakeholders, and delivers this vital information to our membership and the sector.

Knowledge Exchange

The home and community support sector is diverse, and spread across the province. We help service providers connect and learn from one another via our communications networks, annual conference, and provincial program committees.

Advocacy

We advocate for increased investment in the sector, and influence and provide comment on a variety of legislative, policy and research issues affecting a full range of clients, including seniors and people with disabilities.

Training and Resources

Resources and training opportunities through our training division, Capacity Builders, provide affordable training and management support to a wide-range of not-for-profit community organizations.
