Why are beauty and wellness services not within the scope of the HCSA?

The Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA) FAQs, Regulatory Scope of the HCSA

Updated by MOH

Beauty and wellness services are not within the scope of HCSA, as they do not diagnose, treat or manage a medical condition, disease, injury or disability and the risks to patient safety are low.


The public can lodge a complaint with MOH via our feedback form (Contact Us | Ministry of Health) or phone (63259220) if they feel that these providers are providing or advertising any form of licensable healthcare services.
