The Singapore healthcare sector faces a tightening healthcare talent shortage. As employers compete to fill healthcare jobs in demand in Singapore, baseline recruitment costs are surging.
In April 2026, MOH updated its community care salary guidelines, recommending pay increases of around 7% or more for most roles by early 2027. S Pass qualifying salaries will reach S$3,600 by 2027, accompanied by a S$650 levy, making it substantially more expensive to secure the in-demand healthcare roles Singapore is looking for.
To stabilise the healthcare workforce Singapore relies on, employers must adapt. As a partner supporting Singapore employers since 2006, Good Job Creations recommends hiring LTVP/LTVP+ holders on a Letter of Consent (LOC) as a strategic, quota-free, and levy-free alternative. Navigating these regulatory shifts is critical when successfully recruiting for healthcare jobs in demand in Singapore.
