A man has been arrested after a woman's body was found at Australia's National Zoo & Aquarium in Canberra.

Police were called to the zoo about 12:50pm on Monday after reports of a disturbance.

Officers arrived and found a woman deceased in a commercial kitchen area. 

A 29-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has been taken to hospital under police guard.
