The Registry is a database of credentialed or "registered" care aides and community health
workers working for, or wanting to work for, publicly funded employers in BC.
If you are a Registrant, employer or educator with an existing account with the BC Care Aide and
Community Health Worker Registry, you may access your account here.
If you are a publicly funded employer, you must report to the Registry any alleged abuse by a health care
assistant employee to a patient, client or resident. The report must be submitted within seven (7) days
of the employer's notification to the employee of suspension pending investigation or termination. You can
submit your report here.
