New South Wales police have launched an internal investigation after allegations that four officers assaulted a transgender woman in her apartment in April.
Indi Edwards, 46, who identifies as a transwoman and intersex, said the incident happened after she called anonymous and confidential counselling line Lifeline.
'I called Lifeline after being rejected by my family when I told them about my surgery,' Edwards, who plans to have a gender realignment operation, said to Alternative Media Group of Australia.
