About 8pm Tuesday (August 19), two men armed with a metal rod and bat entered a home on Pyne Way (near Bimbadeen) and confronted the two occupants, a 51-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman.
Police have been told the pair started hitting the male occupant on the head with their weapons.
They allegedly stole cash from the home before leaving.
Police from Central Hunter Local Area Command were called to the house and established a crime scene.

One of the men has been described as being of Pacific Islander/Maori appearance with a large build. The other man has been described as being of Caucasian appearance and tall.
