About 169 Medical Centre

A family-centred GP surgery at 169 Russell Street in Palmerston North Central, run as part of the THINK Hauora group. It offers a full range of general practice services for families and adults, and its team includes GPs and other health professionals. Mental wellbeing support is available through health improvement practitioners, health coaches and support workers. Immunisation is offered. We hear the surgery is not taking new patients for enrolment at present. Children under six and those aged six to 13 are seen free of charge. As at 2026, a GP visit for a 14 to 17 year old costs $54, or $13.50 for Community Services Card holders, and $67 for adults, or $20 for card holders. Forms that need a doctor to complete without a consultation cost $15, and a missed appointment is charged $30. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Virtual GP appointments are offered through Practice Plus, weekdays until 10pm and weekends and public holidays 8am to 8pm, for enrolled patients. The surgery's preferred out-of-hours urgent care clinic is City Doctors Palmerston North.
