Cricket legend Michael Slater has again fronted court after police were called to his house over a concern for his welfare.

Police rushed to the 52-year-old's Manly home on Sydney's northern beaches on July 14.

After they arrived, they called an ambulance that took Slater to Northern Beaches Hospital, The Daily Telegraph reported.

He remained in hospital until he was taken to Manly police station on Monday and charged with breaching his bail.

Slater fronted Manly Local Court on Monday afternoon.

He was granted strict conditional bail by Magistrate Megan Greenwood, meaning he must stay away from alcohol and drugs, and be of good behaviour.

Slater is also banned from contacting a number of complainants who have apprehended violence orders against him.

He was charged in May with assault and stalking/intimidating a woman following an incident the month prior and has pleaded not guilty.

Charges relating to a separate incident in 2021 were dismissed on mental health grounds earlier this year.

Slater will return to court to fight the charges in January next year.

He began his career in 1993 and played 74 tests for Australia through to 2001.
