The bonnet of the car ended up wedged inside the bedroom just before 11am.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud screech before the car ploughed into the home.
‘I heard a lady scream and when I walked out the front, I saw the police flying down, get airborne, and they went straight into the window,’ witness Dianne Moyle told Nine News.
Police said in a statement there were no injuries.
Ms Moyle said she was relieved no one was hurt ‘because the young boy who lives at the address, he’s always stayed at the front of the house – so he was lucky he wasn’t there today.’
The statement added police are continuing their inquiries with the people at the home following the disturbance.
