Divers had been searching the First Basin where the 22-year-old had disappeared while swimming on Tuesday afternoon.
Police had been at the scene, along with SES volunteers, and other search and rescue volunteers on and off since Tuesday afternoon, using The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and drones in an effort to locate the woman.
It was confirmed her body was recovered from the First Basin just before 4pm on Wednesday.
Police were expected to remain at the Gorge on Wednesday evening.
"Out of respect to friends and family no further details will be released," a police statement said.
An investigation into the cause of the incident will be undertaken and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
