The discovery comes just hours after the 17-year-old's two roommates faced court on murder charges.
Police were searching an area close to Good Night Scrub National Park, in Queensland, when they found human remains at 2:30pm.
The remains are yet to be formally identified but investigators are said to be talking to the family of the missing teen.
James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, have both been charged with murder and interfering with a corpse in relation to Pheobe's disappearance.

They have been remanded in custody ahead of their next court appearance on August 11.
The arrests came three weeks to the day after Pheobe missed a flight and vanished.
The teen had been living with the pair before she disappeared on May 15.
Wood and Bromley were the last people to see Pheobe alive after allegedly dropping her off at Bundaberg Airport.
A crime scene has been declared at the location where remains were found and forensic examinations are continuing.
Police continue to appeal for any information in relation to Pheobe or the movement of a grey Hyundai IX35 between May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area.
