To assist the public in choosing healthcare services, the Department of Health (DH) has launched the Accredited Registers Scheme for Healthcare Professions (AR Scheme) to accredit eligible professional organisations in certain healthcare professions which are currently not subject to statutory registration to administer the registers for their professions. Only those healthcare professionals meeting the prescribed standards set by the organisations concerned could join as members and be listed on those accredited registers.

To date, DH has accredited the registers of five healthcare professions, including speech therapists, audiologists, dietitians, educational psychologists and clinical psychologists. Colleagues seeking services from the above healthcare professionals may search the list of accredited bodies via the AR Scheme website (www.ars.gov.hk) and look up the relevant registers.
