A 42-year-old man has been charged over the murder of a woman following a domestic incident at a Sydney home.

Police discovered the 35-year-old woman's body at a Potts Point residence, in the city's eastern suburbs, when they followed up on a call about concerns for her welfare on Thursday morning.

It's alleged she suffered multiple stab wounds.

The woman's father reportedly called police from overseas after the 41-year-old man had contacted him.

"It is alleged that the son-in-law told him certain things, which brought the concern from the father to speak with police today," Superintendent Michael Fitzgerald told reporters.

Police believe the Iranian couple had been living in Australia on bridging visas for the past four years.

The man was refused bail and is set to face Central Local Court on Friday charged with murder.
