Taken to the star of the Rafters, Jessica Marais was taken to a hospital in Sydney.
Emergency crews were called to his home in the eastern suburbs around noon on Saturday after reports that the 35-year-old actor had health problems.
Two police cars and an ambulance arrived at the house before being taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital emergency department in Randwick for examination, according to The Daily Telegraph.
NSW police confirmed they helped a 35-year-old woman, but gave no further information, reports news.com.au.
“At around noon today, Eastern Beaches police attended a unit on Beach St to assist NSW Ambulance with a 35-year-old patient,” said a spokeswoman.
Marais representatives could not be reached for comment.
Several people reportedly witnessed the incident, with one describing Marais as “clearly distressed.”
“It was really difficult to see because it was very bad,” the witness told The Daily Telegraph.
“They helped her down the stairs before putting her on the ambulance stretcher … It was a hectic scene.”
Marais won the Logie for Most Popular Actress in 2018. She also starred in the popular television series The Wrong Girl and Love Child.
It was expected to appear in a rebooted series of Packed to the Rafters this year, but it abruptly left production in February citing “personal reasons.”
“Jessica Marais has decided to walk away from the new Back to the Rafters series for personal reasons,” said a statement from her management.
“She thanks everyone involved in the show for their continued support and love, especially her ‘Rafter family’, and sends her best wishes for the production.”

Marais has previously spoken about his battle with bipolar disorder.

Marais has a seven-year-old daughter, Scout.
