The Health and Supportive Care Providers Oversight Authority (HSCPOA) is inviting nominations for new Directors to join its Board.

About HSCPOA

HSCPOA is a not-for-profit organization with a mandate to register and provide oversight of health and supportive care providers. HSCPOA’s first registration and oversight focus is on the registration of Personal Support Workers and may be expanded to include other potential classes of registrants that may be prescribed by government in future regulations to be made under the new Health and Supportive Care Providers Oversight Authority Act (HSCPOA Act), 2021. This new legislation implements a new regulatory approach for the oversight of individuals providing health and supportive care services, beginning with PSWs in Ontario. This novel regulatory approach is separate and distinct from the existing self-regulatory college model of the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA). This new Authority was established in a manner similar to other delegated administrative authorities (‘DAAs’) in Ontario, such as the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority and numerous other consumer protection DAAs.

While it is estimated that there are over 125,000 PSW workers in the province, the number of individuals who will register with HSCPOA is unknown as registration is currently voluntary with a provision in the legislation to move to mandatory at a future ‘to be determined’ date. HSCPOA’s primary role is to protect the public interest by registering and holding registered PSWs accountable for safe, quality, ethical care provided to Ontario residents in their homes, hospitals, long-term care facilities, or other health care environments. HSCPOA is accountable to the Minister of Health and to the public in carrying out its statutory objectives as set out in the HSCPOA Act, 2021.

Serving on the Board of Directors of HSCPOA is a meaningful opportunity to influence the development of one of Ontario’s newest regulatory organizations.

These two Committees hold their four meetings (0.5 day each) meetings virtually.
