Victoria’s Corrections Minister Enver Erdogan has asked Corrections Victoria to review protections for female inmates when determining the placement of transgender prisoners.

Women’s Rights Network Australia (WRNA) has written to Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, condemning the ongoing placement of male offenders in women’s prisons. The most recent case concerns a biological male—convicted of sexually abusing his own daughter—who has been transferred to the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre.
