Two children were discovered dead in a Blue Mountains home, with a woman en route to hospital under police guard.
New South Wales authorities said officers were called to the location on Tuesday afternoon to investigate the welfare of the woman and two children.
The boys, aged 9 and 11, were found dead in the home by a family member.
Australian correspondent Sam Emery says investigations are still ongoing.
