Grant criteria
Caregivers can obtain $200 a year per care recipient to go for Caregivers training workshops that are approved by the Caregivers Training Grant (CTG). Caregivers who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for CTG funding:
i.) Care Recipients
– Must be a Singapore Citizen or PR
– Must be 65 years and above or be certified to have a disability by a doctor or is an existing client of a disability of Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs).
ii.) Caregivers
– Must be the main caregiver
– Must be an immediate family member (parents, sibling, spouse) or foreign domestic worker employed to look after the care recipient.
-If the caregiver (workshop participant) is not the immediate family member, the care recipient would have to declare in the grant form under the “Declaration for Non-Immediate Family Members” section, that he/she is the main caregiver.
– Attend and complete the CTG training courses (100% attendance)
Note that the grant is tied to the care recipient. Thus, if there is more than one caregiver taking care of the same person, they are all eligible for CTG but it is still capped at $400 per year. For example, if two caregivers care for Mr Lim, total grant is still $400 and not $800 as there is only one care recipient.
However, if the caregiver has more than one care recipient, this means the caregiver can obtain more than $400 grant. The caregiver would have to submit an application form for each care recipient they care for, to claim the grant amount tied to each care recipient.
