The body of a man was found at Antwerp, north of Dimboola, this morning as part of the ongoing investigation into a stabbing at Kew overnight.

Local police made the discovery following a call to triple zero at about 6.15am.

Boroondara Crime Investigation Unit detectives were actively searching for the 18-year-old Camberwell man after a woman was stabbed outside a Miller Grove home about 1am today.

Investigators have been told the woman had returned to the address following a night out with friends when she was confronted by a man known to her and stabbed.

The Kew woman, 18, was taken to hospital with what was initially believed to be life-threatening injuries.

Police have been updated the woman is now stable.

Detectives, who are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding what occurred, are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident.

The death of the man is not being treated as suspicious, and police will prepare a report for the coroner.
