Health Professions and Occupations Act

CPSBC is collaborating with other BC health regulators and the Ministry of Health on implementing the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA). Regular updates on the implementation work, including bylaw consultations, will be provided here. 

Bylaws consultation

CPSBC is seeking feedback from members of the public, registrants (licensees), health partners, and Indigenous leaders on the draft bylaws under the Health Professions and Occupations Act.

The draft bylaws will be released for consultation in three groups for a two-month period. Consultation dates along with online feedback forms for each part when available can be found in the table below.

Questions related to the consultation process can be directed to communications@cpsbc.ca.
