The scheme is also open to foreign nurses after they have served for four years in Singapore’s public healthcare sector. Those who have already served for four years or more are immediately eligible, said the Health Minister.
Long-serving nurses aged 46 and above will get their first retention award before the end of this year, he added, while younger nurses will get their first payout in 2028 when they reach their first milestone.
Publicly funded community care organisations and social service agencies can also apply to participate in the scheme. They will need to co-fund the awards, with most of the funding coming from the government, said Mr Ong.
Most public healthcare nurses join the profession at a young age, and will be able to enjoy the full benefits of the retention scheme if they stay on and pursue a career in nursing, said MOH in the press release.
Retention schemes recognise that government officers, including nurses, at certain ages or years of service are particularly likely to contemplate leaving for “very valid personal and family reasons”, said the Health Minister. For example, they leave to start a family, further their studies, take care of aged parents or try out a new opportunity.
“A retention scheme signals to these officers, please think twice. Give yourself and give us a chance,” he added. “As employers, we can help address these dilemmas and trade-offs in life, and help you stay in a career that you will find meaning and continue to make a very positive impact. On your part, if you stay on, perhaps after a while, things do work out after all.”
