An Australian injured in the Bali blast that killed his son remains critically ill in a Singapore hospital but his condition has stabilised, his sister has said.

Michelle Warren's brother Terry Fitzgerald was medically evacuated from Denpasar to Singapore on Sunday night in a critical condition.

Mr Fitzgerald's 16-year-old son Brendan was killed in the blast that ripped through the Kuta restaurant where they had been eating on Saturday night

His daughter Jessica, 13, suffered burns and shrapnel wounds in the blast and was also transferred to Singapore

The children's mother, Lisa Fitzgerald, who was at home in Busselton, 230km south of Perth, when the bombings took place, rushed to Singapore, along with Mr Fitzgerald's parents Trevor and Win.

Mrs Warren said she had spoken with her parents overnight, and the news was positive.

"Terry is in a stable condition but he is still critical," Mrs Warren said.

"Jessica is much the same - stable."

More details would be made public on Wednesday, Mrs Warren said, but she said she was comforted by the update from Singapore.

"That was a feeling of relief," she said.
