Mean and median waiting times for enrolment into Day Activity Centres; and the projected waiting time for enrolment into Day Activity Centres by 2030

Type: Parliamentary Questions,

Topic(s): Disability Services,

Published on 26 September 2025

Ms Elysa Chen asked the Minister for Social and Family Development (a) to date, what are the mean and median waiting times for enrolment into Day Activity Centres; and (b) what is the projected waiting time for enrolment into Day Activity Centres by 2030.

 

Answer

 

1         As of August 2025, there are 32 MSF-funded Day Activity Centres (DACs) with a total capacity of over 1,800 places, and an overall utilisation rate of about 90%.

2         The mean and median waiting time for enrolment into a DAC is about 8 months.

3         MSF is progressively increasing DAC capacity by 500 places by 2030. In the meantime, persons with disabilities may tap on the Special Transition and Engagement Programme (STEP) that provides interim engagement to graduates of SPED schools, or activities via the Enabling Services Hub (ESH) pilot.
