A MAN accused of inflicting life-threatening injuries on his brother and elderly mother when he attacked them with a meat cleaver in Sydney's west has longstanding mental health issues.

Ung Thai, 49, has been charged with two counts of wounding or causing grievous bodily harm to a person with intent to murder after allegedly attacking the pair near the family's Auburn home.

Thai, who was arrested at the scene, didn't enter an application for bail when he appeared in prison greens before Burwood Local Court on Thursday.

The court heard Thai has significant long-term mental health issues.

The mother, 70, and her 43-year-old son were found with life threatening injuries on the street on Wednesday.

They were taken to Westmead Hospital where they underwent surgery. Both remain in a critical condition.

Thai's lawyer asked for the matter to be adjourned so he could seek instructions from his client.

Magistrate Christopher Longley granted the request and Thai is due to appear before the same court on Monday.
