Hopefully the check-in will work better for you.
Worth noting that if you are connecting and do not have a boarding pass for the QF flight that check-in opens a 6pm.

you have to exit the airport and go to departures, then re-clear security. but may give you a crack at better seats rather than waiting for gate check-in.
