About specific Provincial Registries
Registered Care Aids are graduates of a recognized Healthcare Assistant Program. Care Aids are not regulated like some of the other professions such as Licensed Nurses. Provinces bring recognition to your occupation by allowing you to verify your education and training and to ensure a universal code of conduct. The Registry serves and protects vulnerable patients, residents, and clients receiving care from Caregivers through a formal complaints process where any member of the public can file a complaint of abuse with the registry. Employers are required to report in writing to the Registry every suspension or termination of an employee for alleged abuse. There is no harm in registering yourself and you will be recognized as a trusted and skilled Caregiver.
