Families For Life | Big benefits for large families

Raising a large family in Singapore comes with its unique set of joys and challenges. Recognising the additional responsibilities that come with having three or more children, the government introduced the Large Families Scheme at Budget 2025 to provide enhanced support for families with three or more children. Here’s a rundown of benefits that your large family will be enjoying!

Big deals for large families

Everyone loves a good deal! If you are planning for or have a large family, you will enjoy some big deals with the Large Family Scheme. From exclusive discounts to special offers and lifestyle privileges for families with three or more children, you and your family can see and do more across Singapore for less!

A big first step for your little one

You will enjoy extra support with a bigger Child Development Account (CDA) First Step Grant as part of the new Large Families Scheme. For every third or subsequent Singapore Citizen child born from 18 February 2025 onwards, you will receive a larger $10,000 grant, double the amount provided for your first two children.

These CDA funds can be used for expenses like preschool fees, healthcare costs for your child and their siblings, and other needs. The best part? The grant goes directly into your child's CDA within about two weeks of opening the account, giving your family a bigger and faster first step on your parenting journey.

A bigger MediSave grant

Growing a larger family also means larger medical expenses. With the new Large Family MediSave Grant (LFMG), your third or subsequent child born on or after 18 February 2025 will enjoy an additional $5,000 credited directly into the mother’s MediSave account.

This healthy amount is on top of the current MediSave Grant for Newborns provided to all Singaporean babies. All you need to do is enrol your child into the Baby Bonus Scheme, and the LFMG will be deposited automatically, helping you focus more on your family’s well-being and less on medical bills!

A big boost to your LifeSG Credits

Credit where credit is due to you for growing a large family! With the Large Family LifeSG Credits, parents with a third or subsequent child can look forward to an annual boost of $1,000, starting when their child turns one and continuing until they reach six.

You can conveniently access your credits in the LifeSG app and easily spend them at any merchant accepting PayNow UEN QR or NETS QR, which helps you cover everyday household expenses. It’s one less thing to worry about and more things to celebrate as you grow a large family!
