The Home Caregiving Grant (HCG) has replaced the Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) Grant from October 2019.

The HCG is an assistance scheme that is intended to help families to care for their loved ones with moderate to severe disabilities. Eligible families may receive a monthly grant payment of $200. The grant can be used to defray the costs of caregiving expenses, such as the cost of caregiver support services in the community, or hiring of a Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW).

For information on the eligibility criteria and how to apply, please visit the Agency for Integrated Care's (AIC) website.
