Corporate information

The Australian Lawyers Alliance is a company limited by guarantee that has branches in every state and territory of Australia. We are governed by a board of directors made up of representatives from around the country. This board is known as the National Council. Our members elect one director per branch. Directors serve a two-year term, with half the branches holding an election each year. The Council meets four times each year to set the policy and strategic direction for the organisation.

The members also elect a president-elect, who serves a one-year term in that role and then becomes National President in the following year.

We also have branch committees in every state and territory of Australia. The members in each branch elect these committees annually.

The elected office-bearers are supported by ten paid staff who are based in Sydney.

Funding

Our main source of funds is membership fees, with additional income received from conferences, seminars and other events as well as sponsorship, advertising, donations, investments, and conference and seminar paper sales. Our organisation receives no government funding.
