Danny Zayak, 28, was arrested on Saturday within the Liverpool unit block where Tatiana Dokhotaru's body was also located.
He has been charged with 18 separate counts, including assault, stalk/intimidate, choking without consent, and contravene AVO.
Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith previously said that further charges could not be ruled out.
Appearing at Liverpool Local Court on Monday, Zayak did not apply for bail.
However, a bail review has been scheduled at the same court on June 2.
Police received an anonymous triple-zero call reporting an alleged domestic dispute at a Liverpool apartment block about 11.45pm last Friday.
The distressed caller did not specify her address.
Officers arrived at the unit block about 3am on Saturday, but were unable to find the apartment where the incident had occurred.
Inquiries into who had made the phone call continued throughout Saturday, police said.
About 8pm Saturday, police were called back to the Liverpool unit block, where they found the 34-year-old's body.
Local detectives will work with the homicide squad under Strike Force Midian to investigate the woman's death.
