The striker, who plays for the Indonesian club Persija Jakarta, was flying into Sydney ahead of Tuesday's Asian Champions League qualifier game against the Newcastle Jets at 7pm.
He appeared in Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday morning wearing his team tracksuit, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Simic has been forced to hand over his passport and not approach another port of departure as part of a court order. He will next appear in court in April 9.
It is unclear whether he will play in tonight's game.
Australian Federal Police Airport commander, Superintendent Peter Mullins, reminded passengers that even activities that occurred in the air could still be subject to Australian law.
'Passengers flying into Australia ought to feel safe knowing that any activity that occurs on a flight arriving into our country can be investigated by police,' Superintendent Mullins said.
'If something happens on board a flight, we encourage you to speak with the cabin crew who can then report the matter to police.'
