Retired Membership
We recognise the valuable experience accumulated by practitioners over the course of their careers. This category offers members who are no longer in professional practice the opportunity to retain a professional connection with the Institute and an active role within it. For example, retired members could choose to retain an active role in peer supervision groups.
Eligibility
Retired Membership is open to anyone who has previously qualified and practised as a registered, accredited or senior accredited member of the HGI.
Benefits of Retired membership
- Use of the letters (Retired) after your HGI membership designation and academic qualifications
- The opportunity to stay connected as an experienced HG therapist with your peers by remaining part of an official HGI peer supervision group
- Access to the secure HGI Professional Members’ Area
- Advance notice of any HGI conferences and other special HGI-hosted events
- Regular membership bulletins with the latest news and updates

N.B. As a retired member, you will not be required to maintain your former practice-related insurance, will not be able to practise as an HG therapist or supervisor, and will not be listed on the HG practitioner/supervisor register.
Retired membership of the HGI enables you to retain and continue to develop professional collegial relationships within the institute’s professional spaces and forums and to contribute actively to the work of the institute, if you choose to do so, keeping up to date with developments in the teaching and practice of human givens and helping to inspire our next generation of therapists. In order to register as a retired member and remain involved in this way you will need to confirm that you agree to:
- Uphold HGI ethical standards
- Abide by HGI professional conduct policy
