Voges dropped to his arms and knees after being hit and received medical treatment, the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper said, before he was helped off the ground by trainers.
The Western Australian missed most of an English county game for Middlesex in May after suffering concussion when he was hit in the head by an errant throw from the boundary.
Voges was helped from the field by medical staff after being hit on the back of the head by a delivery from Tasmania fast bowler Cam Stevenson.
The 37-year-old fell to his knees as players rushed to his assistance.
It is the second concussion Voges has suffered this year.
He was struck on the head by a fielder's throw while playing for the English county Middlesex in May.
Voges will take no further part in the current four-day match and it is not clear whether he will be available for Australia's third Test against South Africa.
