Acting Premier James Merlino said Victorian had done an amazing job following the rules and getting tested.
He said the five reasons to leave home would no longer apply in Melbourne, but a 25 kilometre travel limit will apply.
In regional Victoria, outdoor public gatherings of 20 people will be allowed and two adults can visit a home per day.
Subject to a four square metres density limit, hospitality venues can serve 150 people, 75 people indoors, for seated service.
Masks can now be removed for hairdressing, beauty and personal care services.
Outdoor sport can return for all ages. Offices will remain capped at 50 per cent.
