Please read the Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) carefully
By accessing Online Counselling on Family Assist (OCFA), you agree to the following T&Cs as required by the Government of the Republic of Singapore as represented by the Ministry of Social and Family Development ( MSF ), which may be amended by MSF from time to time.
OCFA is provided by OCFA counsellors, comprising counsellors and psychologists from Strengthening Families Programme@Family Service Centres (FAM@FSCs) and Community Psychology Hub (CPH) respectively.
Eligibility of Users
OCFA is only available for (i) Singapore Citizens/ Permanent Residents/ Non-residents with Singapore nexus (having at least one member of the family who is a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident) and (ii) who are at least 18 years of age, with marital, divorce, parenting, or family-related issues. OCFA counsellors will only serve clients seeking help for pre-marital issues if they have indicated their desire to marry and have attended or are currently attending pre-marital programmes in the community.
OCFA counsellors will not be able to proceed with OCFA if you do not meet these criteria. If you are under 18 years of age, you will be referred to a more suitable online counselling service.
If you are already receiving counselling or therapy from other agencies or professionals for similar issues, we encourage you to only seek support from your existing agency or professional. This would be helpful for you, as engaging only one counsellor at a time can provide you with consistent counselling advice.
Overseas Users
OCFA is not available to users who are overseas apart from eligible users who are overseas for the short term due to job requirements, family needs, or other relevant reasons. You agree that, despite using OCFA from another country, this T&Cs and provision of OCFA shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore courts over all matters and disputes arising out of or in connection with OCFA.
Modifications of T&Cs
The T&Cs may be modified from time to time to ensure OCFA works effectively and in accordance with the law. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting and a notice will be posted on the OCFA webpage to inform all users. Your use of our service after the modifications have been posted will constitute your acceptance of the revised T&Cs.
Respect for our professionals and our services
OCFA aims to provide you with the assistance and support you need in dealing with your marital or divorce or parenting-related matters. In the event of inappropriate behaviour, such as abusive or threatening language directed towards the OCFA counsellors, the counselling session may be terminated.
You are not allowed to take any photos or record any videos of any communication between the OCFA counsellors and you.
Disclaimer of Liability
OCFA counsellors are professionals trained in working with divorce and marital difficulties and are not legal practitioners and will not be able to provide you with any legal advice. No recommendations of law firms or legal practitioners will be provided. OCFA counsellors will try their best to help you in your situation but will not be liable for any mishaps, decisions that you make, losses you have incurred, including psychological or emotional damage, any physical damage/harm to your property, yourself, or others. MSF and OCFA counsellors expressly disclaim, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all liability in any form whatsoever with respect to acts or omissions made by you arising from the use of OCFA.
