APHN has a complex structure that allows for both individuals and organisations to be involved in the organisation. Only Ordinary Organisational Members have voting rights. Council Members and representatives of Organisational Members must be Individual Members. This ensures the commitment of those involved in the business of the APHN.

APHN has a governing Council of 15 members. Nine are elected and six are co-opted. All members have a three-year term. The first Annual General Meeting was held in Taiwan in 2001.
