Foreign domestic carer pilot expected in the second half of 2027

Summary from 香港特別行政區政府新聞公報

In an official interview on 4 October 2026, the Labour and Welfare Secretary said the first foreign domestic carer pilot batch was expected in the second half of 2027. Training is expected to be at least 150 hours. The planned route would not accept local transfers: helpers would have to return to their home country for self-funded training and assessment. Passing the assessment would not guarantee a place in the limited pilot.
