I am advised:

The publicly available Custodial Operations Policy and Procedures outlines the management of transgender inmates and can be accessed at https://correctiveservices.dcj.nsw.gov.au/documents/copp/03-management-of-specific-inmates/03.08-transgender-and-intersex-inmates.pdf.

The management and placement of transgender inmates is assessed by Corrective Services NSW on a case-by-case basis, having regard to a range of factors including the nature of offence and the safety of the transgender inmate and other inmates.
