The HSCPOA Public Register of PSWs

Registration with HSCPOA is voluntary for Personal Support Workers (PSWs) at this time.

3 faces and check boxes, with a check mark in the happy face in a red circle

Registration Status

Conduct History

The HSCPOA Public Register of PSWs is a helpful resource for:

CARE RECIPIENTS
