SINGAPORE - A new ServiceSG centre has officially opened in Woodlands, providing residents there with access to more than 600 different government services.
Located at the Woodlands Civic Centre, the centre is the tenth opened in Singapore since 2021.
The ServiceSG centres provide Singaporeans with access to government services from across 25 different government agencies.
They range from resetting Singpass accounts to filing taxes and passport renewals.
Speaking at the official opening on March 15, Minister for Education and Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing said the centres are part of the public service’s commitment to ensure that Singaporeans have access to government services despite the digitalisation push.
“We will always have ServiceSG centres to take care of those who are unable to access the services digitally, or those who have complicated cases that may require a bit more guidance,” he said.
Mr Chan announced at the event held at Woodlands Civic Centre that another ServiceSG centre will be opened in Ang Mo Kio.
It will open in the first half of 2026 at Ang Mo Kio town centre.
The centre in Woodlands has recorded an average of 5,500 monthly transactions since it opened, the highest of any ServiceSG centre in Singapore.
It has the largest number of government agencies co-located onsite, with officers from the HDB and NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) operating from the location.
There are also video-conferencing facilities, to enable interactions with government agencies that do not have officers onsite.
An e2i Jobs Fair was also held at the Woodlands civic centre on March 15, with 10 companies and organisations such as fast-food chain McDonalds and Exceltec Property Management participating.
MPs for Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC Alex Yam, Hany Soh, Zaqy Mohamad as well as MP for Sembawang GRC Mariam Jaafar attended the event, which saw the signing of a memorandum of understanding between e2i and Singapore Polytechnic.
The agreement aims to equip Singapore Polytechnic’s education and career guidance counsellors and coaches with e2i’s employment and employability resources and AI-powered digital tools to help jobseekers craft strong resumes and refine their interview skills.
