About us
The mandate of the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC) is to protect the public. We ensure that the health and care professionals that we regulate (audiologists, dietitians, hearing instrument practitioners, occupational therapists, opticians, optometrists, physical therapists, psychologists, and speech-language pathologists) have the competencies needed to practice and that they adhere to the standards needed for safe and ethical care. The Ministry of Health directed the following seven former regulatory health colleges to amalgamate to form a new, multi-profession college on June 28, 2024: College of Dietitians of BC; College of Occupational Therapists of BC; College of Optometrists of BC; College of Opticians of BC; College of Physical Therapists of BC; College of Psychologists of BC; and College of Speech and Hearing Health Professionals of BC. This amalgamation is part of the Ministry of Health’s multi-year initiative to modernize BC’s health profession regulatory framework.

That is also the deadline for psychologists to renew registration in the Alinity platform. CHCPBC will be closed at noon on December 24 and re-open at 8:30 a.m. on December 30. The College will also be closed at noon on December 31 and re-open at 8:30 a.m. on January 2. Please allow sufficient time in the event that your renewal requires CHCPBC review, and ensure your payment is received by the deadline.
