Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton says the state's monkeypox outbreak has "turned around", with no new cases reported in the past couple of weeks.
Professor Sutton took to social media on Friday afternoon to share the good news, which he said could be attributed to the "pillars" of public health.
"Victoria has had no MPX [monkeypox] cases for a few weeks now, having had significantly early growth in cases," he said.
"Lo and behold, those pillars of a public health response work. Case isolation, contact tracing and early testing through close engagement with at-risk community.
"Well done!"
Professor Sutton offered particular thanks to parts of the LGBTQI community who were most affected by the outbreak.
"This has turned around because of their responsiveness and engagement," he said.
Victoria's reported tally of monkeypox cases has remained at 67 since September 7.
It is the highest of any state or territory, and last month Victorian authorities expressed concern as cases rose.
As of September 22, federal health figures listed 52 cases in New South Wales, seven in Western Australia, four in Queensland, three in the ACT and two in South Australia.
While vaccine supply remains tight, Professor Sutton encouraged eligible Victorians to register their interest online ahead of improved supply next month.
