Melanie Scaife is an accredited editor and writer.

For two decades, Melanie has worked in consultancy roles for organisations seeking to effect positive social and environmental change — including the AEGN. So impressed by the network’s impact, she joined the AEGN team in 2022.

For Melanie, the AEGN embodies authentic hope, which as American writer Rebecca Solnit suggests “requires clarity — seeing the troubles in this world — and imagination, seeing what might lie beyond these situations that are perhaps not inevitable and immutable”.  Add bold, impactful philanthropy into the mix, and Australia’s future is ours to write.
