Application Guide for the
13th Senior Citizens' Fund
Before You Apply
Start by auditing your service gaps — such as insufficient cognitive training resources, limited rehabilitation equipment, or lack of data recording systems.
Then match those gaps to the fund's eligible technology categories to identify the most suitable products.
Application process
1
Check eligibility
Confirm your organisation meets SWD requirements and serves elderly or persons with disabilities
2
Select products
Choose technology products within the fund's approved categories, specifically designed for elderly or disability services
3
Prepare documents
Complete the application form and gather quotations and product leaflets
4
Submit application
Send all documents to the Gerontech Fund Secretariat at SWD
5
Procure & install
Upon approval, purchase the products and arrange installation and staff training
Approval time
It typically takes about 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the application and the Social Welfare Department's approval process. Organizations are advised to submit their applications as early as possible to allow sufficient time for document supplementation and follow-up.

Common reasons for rejection — and how to avoid them
Even without a dedicated IT team, your organisation can apply successfully:
✓
Choose a vendor with comprehensive after-sales support (e.g. MedMind provides on-site installation and training)
✓
Ask your vendor to supply product specifications and quotation documents on your behalf
✓
After approval, the vendor handles on-site installation and staff guidance directly
