Melanie Steele

General Counsel

Melanie commenced her journey with Mercy Community in July 2022 with a desire to apply her legal and non-legal skills and experience to support the Mercy Community team in its mission.

Having started her career at a national law firm, Melanie has also worked in medium and small law firms as well as in non-legal roles in small business. With a long-held goal to work in-house and be part of an organisation, in August 2019 Melanie took on the role of Senior Legal Counsel at Lactalis Australia, a national milk and dairy manufacturer producing brands such as Pauls, Oak, Ice Break and Vaalia.  Her aspiration to contribute further to the community led her to Mercy Community.

As an inhouse lawyer, Melanie loves working with people within an organisation to find solutions.  As a member of the Executive Team, Melanie brings an innovative legal perspective and approach.

Melanie holds a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) and a Bachelor of Business (Management) from Queensland University of Technology and is admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland. She is also a member of the Queensland Law Society.
