The file needs to be ordered for viewing.  I am unable to assist you as I don't live anywhere near Melbourne.

https://www.prov.vic.gov.au/explore-collection/explore-topic/wills-and-probates
*Records 1926-2015 can be ordered to view at North Melbourne.
*View the records in the Reading Room for free;
*OR, pay for a copy to be emailed to you or posted to you.

It appears there was no Will.

Letters Of Administration      
MERCER Lionel Augustus 
Died 23 Nov 1994   
Date filed 18 Jan 1995

Hopefully someone can help you.
