Natural collections play a critical role in biodiversity science, yet herbarium processes remain largely disconnected from Indigenous Sovereignty, cultural authority, and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) obligations. In co-managed landscapes such as Kakadu National Park, this disconnect is particularly pronounced, as researchers are required to operate under Bininj/Mungguy governance frameworks grounded in consent, collaboration and accountability to Country. We have developed a proposed Indigenous-led consent-to-herbarium workflow that integrates Indigenous-led research practices and herbarium systems and have presented it for discussion with the Council of Heads of Australian Herbaria. The pathway treats consent as an ongoing governance process rather than a one-off ethical clearance, embedding Free, Prior and Informed Consent, provenance metadata, consent conditions and Indigenous decision-making points into specimen collection and accession workflows. This presentation outlines the design logic, policy foundations and early institutional responses. The work is ongoing, with processes being refined through research, experience, and active consultation.
