An SES spokesperson said the emergency service had only received one call for assistance in the Wimmera, from Stawell, in the aftermath of this morning's earthquake.
The spokesperson also said the SES was expecting possible aftershocks for weeks, if not months, following the initial tremor.
"Aftershocks can continue for some time after the main earthquake. We are urging all Victorians to stay safe and use common sense," the spokesperson said.
Three smaller aftershocks have been reported in the Mansfield area since 9.15am this morning.
