Under the new settings, to be in place for two weeks, Victorians will be able to leave their home for any reason, with the five kilometre travel limit removed.
Restaurants and cafes can open for seated service.
Retail, beauty and personal care will open in line with density limits, as well as entertainment venues and community facilities.
