There is no regulatory body for care workers operating in Indonesia. Members of the public long-term care workforce, such as those working as volunteers for Puskesmas and Posyandu Lansia, are bound by the guidelines of their local healthcare provider. Similarly, members of the private long-term care workforce operate within the guidelines of the private sector (Pratono & Maharani, 2018). The BNP2TKI, however, operates a regulatory body for care workers working overseas (BNP2TKI, 2011).
