When police arrived, they found the body of 67-year-old Dawn Butterworth alongside her injured partner, 62-year-old Allan Greentree.
Investigators were alerted by a "regular visitor" to the home, said St George Police Area Command Superintendent Julian Griffiths, confirming that the dead woman and injured man were known to each other.
"We believe that it may domestic related... we believe that they do know each other," he said, adding that police had not been called to the unit before.
According to Seven News, neighbours heard screams but did not call police. The man was reportedly suffering from self-inflicted wounds to his wrists.
Officers from St George Police Area Command established a crime scene at the unit and were investigating the incident.
