The 63-year-old aged care resident's wheelchair is believed to have tipped backwards when the taxi braked, the agency said.
The death brings the state's workplace fatality toll to two for 2021, 10 less than at the same time last year.
Both of the deaths have been recorded in the central Victorian region but are not related.
Last week, a 29-year-old worker was caught in machinery at Rochester's Hay Australia complex.
Paramedics and an air ambulance attended but the man died at the scene.
