Victoria recorded 25 Covid-related deaths and 1,923 cases overnight in the deadliest day of the pandemic so far.
The startling figure comes as residents enjoy new-found freedoms as the state prepares to hit the 80 per cent vaccination target ahead of schedule on Friday.
Meanwhile, NSW reported 293 cases on Thursday and two deaths.
Victoria's latest deaths take the toll from its latest Delta outbreak to 272.
About 77 per cent of Victorians aged 16 and over are now fully vaccinated.
There were 82,648 tests processed and 22,189 Covid-19 vaccine doses administered at state-run hubs on Wednesday.
