The cases include 4031 from rapid antigen tests and 2044 from PCR lab tests, the health department confirmed on Saturday.
The number of Victorians in hospital declined overnight by 10 to 175 patients.
This includes 22 people in intensive care with four on ventilation.
There are 40,530 active cases in the state.
Victoria has 62.2 per cent of adults vaccinated with three doses, ahead of mandatory vaccination rules kicking in for key workers.
After being pushed back, the deadline is fast approaching for aged care, disability, emergency service, meat processing, quarantine and food distribution workers to get their third jab.
From 11.59pm on Saturday, these workers, including contractors, volunteers and students on placement, will need to have received a third dose to attend work.
Healthcare workers who received their first jab before September 12 will also be required to have their third before 11.59pm on Saturday.
