The memorial service for the Grease star will be held from 4pm AEDT on February 26 at the Arts Centre Melbourne's Hamer Hall, with tickets for the event going live at 12pm on Friday.
The tickets are free on the centre's website but registration is essential, with a limit of two tickets per booking.
Seats are allocated based on what's best available are at the time of booking, and tickets will be sent closer to the memorial date.
The service will feature special tributes from Newton-John's family and friends, including a performance by singer Delta Goodrem.
Authorities are closely consulting with representatives of Newton-John's family ahead of the memorial.
Newton-John, best known for playing Sandy in the 1978 hit film Grease opposite John Travolta, died on August 8 at the age of 73.
She battled breast cancer three times after first being diagnosed in 1992, leading her to create the Olivia Newton-John Foundation to fund cancer research.
She also founded the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, which supports people living with the disease.
People can also phone 1300 182 183 to book tickets to the state memorial service.
