Each facility represented by ONA has a Bargaining Unit President that oversees union activities within that facility. The provincial organization is divided into Locals, which is headed by a Local Coordinator.

ONA works in collaboration with other unions and maintains strong links with other nurses’ unions in Canada. ONA is a member of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU), and thereby affiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).
