In a country where medical professionals are stretched thin, leaving a glaring void in personalized care, the CHPC emerges as a beacon of hope. Picture a scenario where patients yearn for attention, but nurses are overwhelmed and doctors are swamped with tasks beyond their capacity. The result? Basic care becomes a luxury, people in need face abuse and neglect while careworkers are left exposed to risk and exploitation.

The Membership Application Process
The CHPC application process is a comprehensive journey towards becoming a registered and accredited caregiver.
Consisting of five essential phases, this process ensures that all candidates meet the stringent standards required to uphold the professionalism and integrity of caregiving. From uploading registration information to undergoing online basic assessments, criminal background checks, polygraph examinations, and qualification verifications, each phase is crucial for evaluating candidates' suitability.
It's important to note that successful completion of all five phases is mandatory to achieve registration. However, in the event of a failure, where possible, applicants will be provided with guidance and support to address any shortcomings and strive for success in subsequent attempts.
Together, let's embark on this transformative journey towards elevating the standards of caregiving excellence.
