BC Care Aide & Community Health Worker Registry (the Registry)

Care aides and community health workers are integral to the British Columbia (BC) health care system.

Also known as health care assistants or HCAs, they provide personal care assistance and services. HCAs work as members of a health care team with direction and supervision from regulated health care professionals, such as nurses.

HCAs work in a variety of settings, including:

  • Acute Care
  • Assisted Living
  • Long-Term Care; and
  • Home Support and Community Care.

In addition to providing a database of registered HCAs eligible for employment, the Registry has created a standard for reporting and investigating complaints of alleged abuse of patients, residents, and clients by HCAs.
