Registration renewal for the 2023/2024 registration year has opened. Registrants who wish to maintain their professional status and licenses to practice as RAUDs, RHIPs, or RSLPs in BC must renew their registration by March 31, 2023. In addition, registrants with Certified Practice certificates expiring on March 31, 2023, must renew these certificates by that deadline.

In addition to the current reporting requirement of 750 practice hours for a primary profession, the amended practice hours requirement outlines that when a registrant is registered as a full registrant in more than one profession, the registrant must also, within the same three-year cycle, practice a minimum of 250 hours in each other profession the registrant is registered in.

Registration renewal for the registration year from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, will open in late January 2023. The deadline for renewing your license to practice for 2023/2024 is March 31, 2023.

Non-registrants who assist RAUDs, RHIPs, and RSLPs with providing aspects of speech and hearing health services to clients function as Communication Health Assistants (CHAs). Registrants need to be familiar with requirements for working with CHAs.

All RAUDs, RHIPs, and RSLPs have requirements for obtaining and documenting consent from clients before providing health services. Registrants who assign and delegate Communication Health Assistants (CHAs) to provide aspects of speech and hearing health services to clients have additional consent requirements.

CSHBC has prepared scenarios that outline the responsibilities for CSHBC registrants when delegating aspects of practice to Communication Health Assistants (CHAs).

CSHBC has substantially updated the College’s Jurisprudence course. The updated course is now available in CSHBC’s learning management system.

To support registrants in implementing the new Standard of Practice for Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility, & Anti-Racism, CSHBC has issued a Notice to the Professions with information about the standard and additional resources.
