As per The Guardian, Voges was struck on the helmet when he tried to turn away and avoid a Cameron Stevenson bouncer shortly before lunch on day one. Voges was looking to secure a spot in the Australian batting order for the forthcoming third Test in Adelaide.
After the hit, Voges fell flat on the ground for some time before being helped off the field by the support staff. He was taken to the medical, and as confirmed from the tweet by the Western Australian Cricket Association, he has been diagnosed with a concussion.

This is the second time in this year, Voges has suffered from concussion. Earlier, he got a freak head injury while playing county cricket for Middlesex. Voges was fielding at the slips when he was hit on the back of the head by a ball that was thrown back towards the wicketkeeper after a boundary.
Adam Voges ruled out of remainder of WA v Tas match after receiving Stevenson bouncer to helmet.
