The participating provinces have agreed that you do not need to have a Cross Provincial Practice registration to provide brief help when a client/patient is temporarily in one of the participating provinces.
You can proceed without obtaining a Cross Provincial Practice registration but only If you are providing:
reasonably urgent limited services
for no more than a cumulative total of 3 hours
across the 12 months
to an existing client/patient
For example, your client/patient may need a hearing aid adjustment to manage a new listening environment they find themselves in while on vacation in another province. Similarly, your client/patient may benefit from a short intervention for managing their fluency in new situations.
Remember the 3 hours of urgent care is a total amount across all client/patients you may be servicing. You should only provide brief direct care for any single client/patient, and retain the remainder of the 3 hours for any other urgent situations, as opposed to providing 3 hours to 1 patient.
Please note, this ONLY applies to participating provinces. If you wish to provide brief service to a client/patient in a non-participating province, you must contact them directly to see if you must register with them.
