The Australian Lawyers Phil-Hellenic Association (ALPHA), is a recently formed not-for-profit organisation.

ALPHA was formed by a group of Australian lawyers of Greek heritage who, with the knowledge that there are many colleagues such as themselves Australia wide, were inspired by a common vision to create a professional network for lawyers with a Greek Australian background or who are married to a Greek and who appreciate Greek traditions and history.

The idea behind ALPHA started in 2005 when a small group of lawyers of Greek heritage gathered together to celebrate the 25th of March 1821 – Greek Independence Day.  Former District Court Judge, James (Jim) Conomos and former NSW Barrister gave a stirring speech (logos) about the lead-up to Greek independence after almost 400 years of Ottoman occupation.  It was the cornerstone of a very enjoyable evening. This and successive annual dinners provided the spring board for the formation of ALPHA.

ALPHA was officially launched at the 2008 annual dinner when The Hon. John Hatzistergos, MLC, Attorney General and Minister for Justice embraced being the inaugural Patron of ALPHA.
