The only way around it is if you are connecting to or from an international flight on that same day and hold/held a business or first class ticket for the international leg.

I was also looking forward to accessing these lounges as well, but as a silver, I cannot.

OP has access to the dom Qantas Club lounges without doubt. QF recently opened, in addition to these, a number of J lounges in SYD/MEL/BNE i think that are only open to dom J and QF Plat/OW Emerald.

Apparently, there's not much difference between the two anyway
