Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said 363 people in hospital with COVID, 75 in ICU and 56 on ventilators.
Mr Andrews announced in 11 priority local government areas in Melbourne the government could be offering 110 grants of $4000 and ten grants of $10,000 to community pharmacies and GPs.
He said the funding would help GPs pay staff to operate additional hours.
"This is all about additional staff additional wages additional space, common sense," he said.
Mr Andrews said a regional Victorian equivalent would be revealed soon.
He said the scheme would allow GPs and community pharmacies to deliverer their full vaccine allocation.
