About OPSWA

The Ontario Personal Support Workers Association (OPSWA) is the official voice and verifying body for Personal Support Workers across Ontario. Founded in 2010 by PSWs, for PSWs, OPSWA represents over 60,000 members and continues to advocate for professionalism, recognition, and respect within the healthcare system.
 
OPSWA sets the standards of practice, offers professional liability insurance, verified credentials, and provides education and advocacy to support PSWs in every stage of their careers.
 
Our mission is simple — to elevate the PSW profession and ensure that every PSW in Ontario is recognized, protected, and valued for the vital care they provide every day.
Our Vision
Through the standardization of Personal Support Workers, all Ontarians can receive the quality of care they are entitled to.
