This category is for physiotherapists who are no longer practicing but still wish to keep abreast of changes which are occurring in the industry and profession.

SASP Honorary Life Members & SASP Life Members can receive a discounted rate.

The updated definition for SASP Life Membership is: “Members with 40 years of SASP membership may, on application, become Life Members of the Society.”
As ECommerce is not a SASP membership category, it does not count towards your 40 years of membership of the SASP.
If you believe you qualify for SASP Life Membership, you can apply on page 3 of the registration process.
If you were granted SASP Life Membership in 2026, you do not have to apply again for 2027.

All discounted membership rates exclude any SIG’s chosen. 

A Debit Order payment option off twelve (12) months is available on the system for this membership category until the 8 December 2025. A 5% admin fee will be added to your invoice for this payment option. The first Debit Order payment will go off on the 2 January 2027.
