How to Find a Registered Personal Support Worker (PSW)
Search our online Public Register. The register can be accessed by employers, other health care practitioners, and the public, to check a PSW’s registration status, current business location, and whether they are in good standing with HSCPOA.
Registration with HSCPOA is voluntary for Personal Support Workers (PSWs), at this time.
Being registered as a Personal Support Worker in Ontario demonstrates commitment to providing quality care and enhances recognition of the work PSWs do.
Those who are registered have:
- Shown their ability to meet the educational requirements set by HSCPOA.
- Pledged to provide support care services in accordance with HSCPOA’s Code of Ethics for PSWs.
- Demonstrated to employers, colleagues, and recipients of supportive care services that as a PSW registrant, they have met newly established registration requirements including education and/or experience, and good character.
Only eligible PSWs registered with HSCPOA can proudly use/wear the HSCPOA PSW Registrant ‘visual mark’ provided by HSCPOA, easily recognized by colleagues, employers and recipients of PSW supportive care services.
NOTE: This service will be available following initial registration of PSWs with HSCPOA.
