What is the Settling-in Programme
The Settling-in Programme (SIP) is a 1-day orientation programme for first-time MDWs to educate them on safety precautions and living in Singapore.
The topics covered include:
- Adapting to working and living in Singapore
- Conditions of employment
- Working safely
- Relationship and stress management
Register for SIP
You are advised to register your MDW for the SIP early to secure a training slot within 7 days of her arrival in Singapore, excluding Sunday and public holidays.
MDW is not allowed to attend the training on the same day of her arrival in Singapore. This is to allow sufficient time for your MDW to rest and optimise her learning experience and outcomes for SIP.
You can register with these accredited training providers:

- In-principle approval (IPA) letter (full set)
