The US-owned Formula One team is fifth in the championship after two races, thanks to Kevin Magnussen scoring in both.
Schumacher did not race in Jeddah after his smash on Saturday, but returned for Melbourne.
“We have everything, but we don’t have an abundance of spare parts,” Steiner told reporters in Albert Park.
He added that Schumacher’s crashed chassis, which would become the spare, was sent back to Europe for repairs so that it could be available for the next race in Italy at Imola in two weeks’ time.
“We had to get it (chassis) here because of customs formalities – it had to enter here and then it could have been shipped back to Europe from here, and it’s coming back now,” Steiner said.
Schumacher is set to use the same Ferrari power unit that was in the car for Saudi Arabia, with a new gearbox.
The 23-year-old German, a rookie last season, had not previously raced at Albert Park in 2021 with the circuit absent due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
