The 61-year-old former minister was originally set to be in Australia from 16 Feb to 4 Mar to help his son settle into university.
However, he had fallen ill while in the country, the ACG said.
Details of his illness were not specified.
The prosecution did not object to the application, the AGC said.
However, the following enhanced bail conditions were set out for him:
With the extension, he will now return to Singapore and surrender his passport to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) on 20 Mar.
The latest development in the saga comes about 1.5 months after Iswaran was handed 27 charges, including for corruption and receiving valuables as a public servant.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released on bail.
On 8 Feb, he was given permission to leave the country.
