Student membership

Available to medical practitioners registered as Diploma in Occupational Health (DOH/DOM) students, student membership offers all affiliate benefits plus:

• Input on Occupational Health Legislation and Guidelines: Stay involved in shaping occupational health policy by providing input on legislation and guidelines.
• Guidance on Fee Structures and Professional Practice: Receive expert advice on setting up fee structures and managing your professional practice.

Retiree membership

For medical practitioners who have retired from active practice, retiree membership provides all of the affiliate and student benefits, plus:

• Voting Rights: Participate in elections and decisions that shape the future of SASOM and the field of occupational medicine.

Corporate membership

While SASOM offers corporate membership as a practical and financial benefit to companies that enrol multiple employees collectively, this does not extend membership to the entity itself. Instead, each enrolled employee receives an individual membership, granting them full access to benefits, resources, and CPD opportunities specifically designed to support their expertise and growth.

This approach allows companies to support their workforce’s professional development while benefiting financially from group enrolments. It also ensures that each professional maintains a direct, individual connection to SASOM, fostering personal responsibility, accountability, and engagement essential to the integrity and advancement of occupational medicine in South Africa.
