This membership category caters for all physiotherapists who are employed by the Department of Health, Department of Education and Department of Labour, and working at Public health facilities (i.e. Primary Health Care Settings, clinics, hospitals, rehab centres) and Special Schools.

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.
