Annual Renewal Extension Request Form
Purpose
Personal Support Workers (PSWs) registered with the Health and Supportive Care Providers Oversight Authority (HSCPOA) must renew their registration by March 31st annually. A PSW certificate of registration with HSCPOA expires on April 1st annually, unless the PSW registrant has renewed their registration with HSCPOA or been granted a renewal extension.
HSCPOA is committed to supporting PSW registrants who are encountering challenging circumstances that limit their ability to renew their registration by the March 31st deadline date. In doing so, PSW registrants may request an extension to renew their registration of up to 30 days, or by end of day on April 30th, if one or more of the following circumstances exist:
- current hospitalization,
- prolonged illness,
- disability,
- bereavement,
- personal hardship, or
- Other circumstances that may limit the PSW registrant’s ability to complete their annual renewal by the annual deadline of March 31st.
Process
Please complete the Annual Renewal Extension Request Form below and attach any supporting documentation (if applicable) to explain your circumstances. Annual renewal extension requests must be received by HSCPOA at least five (5) business days before the March 31st annual renewal deadline date each year. If circumstances exist that prevent a HSCPOA PSW registrant from submitting their annual renewal extension request within these timelines, exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
