She said everything was looking "very, very good, very positive" for the borders to open with Victoria.
This comes as Victoria has no active cases for the first time in nine months, after a man in his 90s was discharged from hospital on Monday.
Monash Medical Centre has been treating the man for more than three weeks, alongside his wife, who was discharged from the hospital on Thursday.
This is also the 25th day in a row Victoria has reported no new cases.
While Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews lauded the milestone, he urged Victorians to remain vigilant.
"Every single Victorian can be proud of the part they've played in defeating the second wave but even a big run of days - 25 days of zero - is not the same as having a vaccine," he said.
"Not everybody gets tested, and because not everybody gets tested perhaps quite as quickly as they should, we have to assume that there is more virus out there.
"We all still need to keep playing our part, be vigilant. We know that it's probably still out there bubbling perhaps at a very low level."
