SIOPSA Interest Groups are the main arteries ensuring that the whole body is well looked after from both an intellectual and practical, experiential viewpoint.

It is in the Interest Groups where members can really drill down into a particular field and engage in a meaningful way while remaining at the forefront of trends and new developments. 

• Interest Group in the Systems Psychodynamics of Organisations (IGSPO)
• Interest Group People Assessment in Industry (IGPAI)
• Interest Group in Coaching & Consulting Psychology (IGCCPSA)
• Interest Group for Applied Organisational Neuroscience (IGAON)
• Psycho-Legal Interest Group
• Interest Group for Diversity and Inclusion

Keep a look-out for networking and dialogue opportunities offered by the SIOPSA Academy. This platform is a mechanism for knowledge brokering in a virtual, not-for-profit organisation with many diverse members spread across the country. It creates and leverages platforms and partner with like-minded individuals and organisations to facilitate the sharing of scientific and practice-orientated knowledge as well as best-practice know how.

The SIOPSA Academy builds on existing learning from tertiary institutions, the internship programme and CPD offerings to enhance and elevate IOP as a profession by sharing knowledge.
