Actor Dan Wyllie has pleaded not guilty to assaulting his wife, fellow actor Shannon Murphy, at the couple's home in Woollahra, in Sydney's east, in March.
The Silver Logie winner, 50, was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and common assault on Saturday "following an investigation by officers from the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command into an alleged domestic violence assault," police said in a statement earlier this week.
The former star of TV drama Love My Way was due to appear in the Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday, but did not attend in person "in light of COVID", his solicitor Michael Hempsall said.
Mr Hempsall entered a plea of not guilty on Mr Wyllie's behalf, telling the court that the defence planned to call multiple witnesses, including an additional police witness.
The case will also involve the use of medical records, the court heard.
Both Mr Wyllie's bail and an apprehended violence order that police applied for on behalf of Ms Murphy will continue until his next court appearance later this month.
While on bail, Mr Wyllie must not commit any further offences, must abide by the terms of the AVO and not assault or threaten Ms Murphy, stalk, harass or intimidate her or intentionally or recklessly destroy any of her property, court documents show.
"She's my best friend," Mr Wyllie said of his then-girlfriend in a 2012 interview.
Ms Murphy made her directorial debut with the film Babyteeth, which was nominated for best film at the 2019 Venice Film Festival.
She has since directed a number of episodes of the award-winning drama Killing Eve.
The pair married in 2014 and have a daughter.
Mr Wyllie will return to the Downing Centre Local Court on August 26.
