The search for a missing Knox woman has ended tragically, after Victoria Police and SES units found her deceased in Sherbrooke Forest.

SES crews and Victoria police searched the vicinity after her car was discovered at 6am this morning in a carpark near Sherbrooke Forest.

The 43-year-old woman was last seen alive at 12pm on Wednesday 8 June.

Victoria Police said on Wednesday they and her family were becoming increasingly concerned about her welfare due to a medical condition and her disappearance being out of character.

Police blocked off access to Sherbrooke Road and deployed search dogs and aerial drones as they searched the nearby area.

The deceased woman was found around 12pm after an extensive search.
