The club was formed back in 1958 by a group of Greek immigrants who loved football and wanted to use the club as a way of keeping in contact with other immigrants from the region. 

Originally, the club was established as an athletic club competing in other sports such as basketball, water polo and volleyball.

Hellenic currently play in the NorZone Premier League, which is one of three top-tier state-level competitions in the Northern Territory.
