A Victorian parliamentary committee will hold an inquiry into the state's contact tracing system, which struggled to keep up when the second wave of COVID-19 took hold.
Opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier moved a motion in the upper house on Wednesday for the Legal Social Issues Committee to launch an inquiry into the system.
The committee is headed by Reason Party MP Fiona Patten and it will provide an initial report to the Legislative Council by November 30.
A final report is due by December 14.
"(The inquiry will) consider and monitor the capacity and fitness for purpose of the Victorian government's COVID-19 contact tracing system and testing regime," Ms Crozier's motion states.
"And in doing so consult with businesses, including small business representatives, the community sector and Victoria's multicultural communities."
Health experts have raised concerns over the state's contact tracing system for months.
Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton told reporters on Tuesday the state now had the best system in the country.
"I've been pretty frank about weaknesses or critiques in elements of our response right through, but I will say now, I think our case contact and outbreak management is the best in Australia at the moment," he said.
"It might be biased, but it's an honest appraisal of the fact that we've had to step up with really significant requirements. So, I think this set-up we've got now could do things at scale if required."
The state recorded just two new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, following two consecutive days of zero.
