No. Arrivals are separated from departures. The only way to get from the arrivals sections to the departures area is through the transit area and only if you already have a boarding pass for a connecting flight from the international terminal.
There are no arrivals lounges at SYD.

Taking Nell's point,
What is the concensus on such a facility in SYD given that the majority of flights arrive in the early hours and would no doubt be of great benifit to those that have endured 2-sectors from the UK/Europe or a 14-hour flight from the US. I think it warrants some thought.

I don't think so. Those connecting onwards have likely got lounge access and SYD is a short hop to the city. I don't really see a benefit

At London, I would say that would be on average a much longer time between leaving the airport and getting to destination compared to Sydney. Those who would be eligable to use the lounge who are flying out further that day , would have access to showers in the departure QF Lounges

Yes, but one must consider that, as most flights arrive in the early morning, there is a chance that one's hotel room will not be available on arrival, at which point, it would be nice to have a shower facility. In addition, are those needing to go straight to work when leaving the airport.

There was a man...well...I shouldn't really go into it cos it's quite revolting but let me just say that it involved butt cleavage, pants that weren't quite in the right place & the end of a 14 hr overnight flight.
