Singapore VFTF for Indian nation with Austrlian visa grant

[rollodxb]

Hi Guys, need some advice please.

I am an Indian national with Australian visa grant and travelling Delhi - Singapore - Sydney to activate the PR. Thought I'd spend 3 days in Singapore on the way to Australia.

It seems there is a Visa Free Transit Facility at Singapore which allows you to visit Singapore for 96 hours, this is available for long term visa holders of certain countries including Australia. Anyone availed this using a grant ?

I have the Australian visa grant which still needs to be activated by doing the first landing so I am not sure if this qualifies as long term visa but maybe it does..
My query is if I can use the grant to avail VFTF in Singapore. Thanks
