Liability Insurance (for RPNs)
A reminder that all members of the College of Nurses of Ontario (excluding those in the Non-Practising Class) must hold Professional Liability Protection (PLP).
OCHU/CUPE has partnered with PROLINK to provide Professional Liability Insurance exclusively for Registered Practical Nurses who are members of OCHU/CUPE.
We are pleased to announce that OCHU and PROLINK have found a solution that is not only cost-effective but provides comprehensive coverage required by RPN’s in Canada
Highlights include:
- Members can obtain $1,000,000 in Professional Liability for total cost of $92 + tax. Higher Limits are also available up to $5,000,000;
- Complete online solutions. Apply, pay and obtain your certificate of insurance in less than 5 minutes!
- Professional Liability exceeds the requirements of Bill 179 and College of Nurses of Ontario;
- Coverage for RPN services rendered outside of your employment agreement with a hospital or long-term care facility;
- Members do not have to pay fees to a separate Nursing Association in order to access competitive group insurance rates!

Liability insurance is also available by being a member of the RPNAO.
