  • Professional indemnity and PDPA (personal data) policies

Licensing steps — in order
1

ACRA → AHPC staff → MOH HCSA application and premises → inspection → licence

Important tip

MOH licences a specific address. If you add a second outlet, you need a new service-licence variation or application.

Guidance only — not a licence. Confirm fees, area minima, and portal names with the official regulator before you apply or spend on fit-out.
