Both cases are locally acquired and connected to current outbreaks but only one was in quarantine during their infectious period.
The new case numbers mean Victoria has reduced its daily numbers each day since July 25.
There are now 180 active cases in Victoria - a drop of 20 from the number reported on Friday morning.
Health minister Martin Foley said authorities are still unclear on how the Moonee Valley case - discovered on Wednesday - acquired the virus however the case is genomically linked to the three cases reported on Friday.
He urged people to heed the "early warning signal" and get tested for even the slightest of symptoms.
Prime minister Scott Morrison said on Friday Australia would need to see 80 per cent of the population vaccinated against COVID-19 for the country to be able to open up properly and end restrictions.
"These are targets for all Australians to achieve," the Prime Minister said.
"States, territories, working together, communities working together, individuals, GPs, pharmacists. Australia will get this done by working together.
"The targets are there for us all to achieve and for us all to work towards."
Currently 18.2 per cent of people aged 16 and over are fully vaccinated.
Victoria saw 19,502 vaccinations administered on Friday along with 32,760 test results received.
