He became one of the industry's most influential figures and has been remembered as a "passionate champion of Australian music", a "larger-than-life figure" and "always a music man".
He is survived by his wife Sue and two children.
Premier Daniel Andrews said Mr Gudinski's wife had accepted a state funeral.
"I went and saw Sue last night and offered her and the family a state funeral for an amazing Victorian," he said.
"It will be a celebration of his life; the details will be finalised in coming days.
"It's got to be COVID-safe of course, but I think we will be able to come together in an iconic venue and celebrate his life and the mark that he made and the legacy he leaves."
