Aus4ASEAN Futures is embedded in the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC), mobilizing resources through an ASEAN trust account, and using ASEAN systems. Aus4ASEAN Futures is governed by a Joint Planning and Review Committee (JPRC) comprised of representatives from ASEAN Member States (AMS) and Australia that meets annually to review program progress and approve forward work planning.

They are supported in the implementation of the program by a Program Planning & Monitoring Support Unit (PPMSU), based in the ASEAN Secretariat, Jakarta.

The PPMSU was established in early 2023 when the program primarily supported the ASEAN Economic Community and related cross-cutting priorities, such as Connectivity.
