The Pinnacle Incorporated 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Tuesday 24 November 2026 at 5.30pm, via Microsoft Teams.
An hour of your time. Plenty worth hearing.
We know how busy general practice is, so we keep our AGM short and to the point, with no more than 60 minutes to hear what's happening across Pinnacle and ask questions directly. This year our AGM will be online-only.
With pressures continuing across general practice, we'll have some positive news to share at this year's AGM, following on from our recent roadshow. Join us to hear more about Pinnacle's funding, what it means for practices and what we're working on across the network.
An important part of this year's AGM is the election of a new clinical representative to the Pinnacle Incorporated executive committee. Four candidates have put themselves forward, and members will have a say in who represents them in our governance. You can read about the candidates in the Files & Links section below.
We're also pleased to welcome Dr Bryan Betty, former chair of General Practice New Zealand and now a board member of Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora and chair of the Minister of Health's Primary Health Care Advisory Group, who will give a brief presentation.
We'd love you to join us, hear what's happening and have your say.
Please RSVP and join us online if you can.
Full members unable to attend can appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf. Please complete the proxy form below and return it to Liz.Miller@pinnacle.health.nz, chief governance officer, by 9.00am Friday 20 November 2026.
