A 39-year-old man has been charged over a woman's death in northern Victoria.

The Cobram man was charged with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury, common law assault, aggravated assault of a female and unlawful assault, Victoria Police said.

The 49-year-old woman's body was found in a Cobram property on Tuesday.
