The bodies of the woman in her 40s and man in his 20s were found at a residence in Stretton about 9.40am on Monday.
A 49-year-old man with injuries to his arms and legs unlocked the doors to let police in.
He was taken to hospital and has been charged with two counts of murder.
He’s expected to face bedside hearing on Tuesday.
Detective Superintendent Andrew Massingham says the bodies were found on the second floor following what he described as a “frenzied attack”.
“It is quite traumatic in terms of a large amount of blood that is present and from evidence within that area and also the weapons that were seized,” he told reporters on Monday.
Police have recovered two bladed weapons they believe were used in the attack.
The accused man, who speaks Cantonese and is believed to be linked to the premises, raised the alarm by calling triple zero and telling authorities he needed assistance.
He speaks limited English and the police needed a Cantonese interpreter to assist in communication.
Any with information or CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact police.
