Victorian Minister for Health Martin Foley announced the new cases brought the state's active number of cases to 29.
Mr Foley said the results from genomic testing had also directly linked the cluster to Sydney's Northern Beaches outbreak.
Authorities had previously announced they believed the cluster was linked to the neighbouring state though were waiting for definitive confirmation.
Mr Foley also revealed a Victorian couple, who crossed state borders to visit a pub in regional NSW, had returned to Melbourne to isolate.
