Frequently asked questions

Is unit clerk a regulated job?

We found no regulator and no official statement either way.

What does it pay?

We use the HEU facilities rate for Nursing Unit Assistant, $30.03 an hour from April 2026. HEU has no “unit clerk” benchmark, so this is the closest match.

Where can I train?

We did not compile programs. Check any private school with PTIB and ask the health authority what it accepts.

How is this different from a medical office assistant?

HEU lists the hospital job as Nursing Unit Assistant. WorkBC groups MOAs as medical administrative assistants, and neither job is regulated.
