All You Need to Know About Becoming a Member

GP+ Co-operative is more than just an organisation.
It is a community of healthcare professionals coming together for a shared purpose.
Please read through this page before submitting your application for membership.

As a co-operative, we are owned and governed by our members, for our members. When you join GP+, you become a co-owner of the organisation, contributing to both its direction and its impact. As such, we expect members who join to participate in GP+ Co-op activities beyond self-interest.

We combine commercial flexibility with a strong social mission, supporting our members while advancing the healthcare ecosystem. What truly sets GP+ apart is our strong network and shared values.

If our mission resonates with you, we warmly invite you to consider joining us.

GP+ offers two membership types:

Associate Membership

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Are the fees refundable?
    Entrance fee and monthly fees are non-refundable. Share capital is refundable upon resignation.

  2. Why is the entrance fee $1,000?
    The entrance fee was set by GP+’s founding members to ensure alignment in values and commitment. It reflects a shared belief in contributing meaningfully to the co-operative’s mission.

  3. Could you share more information on what is a co-operative?
    To find out more, you may check out the website of the     Singapore National Co-operative Federation (SNCF). GP+ Co-operative is a member affiliated to SNCF.

  4. How do shares work?

    Co-operative shares and dividends operate differently from those in a private company

    a. Share Value: Share value is fixed and determined at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). It typically does not fluctuate over time.

    b. Shareholding Limits: Members may hold multiple shares, but no individual may own more than 20% of the total share capital.

    c. Allocation of Annual Surplus: At the end of each financial year, any surplus generated is allocated into one or more of the following:

  • Central Co-operative Fund (CCF): Instead of paying corporate taxes, co-operatives contribute to the CCF, supporting the development of the co-operative sector in Singapore

  • Sinking Fund: Set aside to sustain existing initiatives and support future growth and expansion

  • Member Rebates / Honorarium: Members who actively participate in programmes or serve in official roles may receive rebates or honorarium (in line with recent regulatory updates)

  • Dividends: The Committee of Management (COM) may declare dividends for members, where appropriate.
