Welcome to FT and the friendly OZ forum, NZBone! With Star Alliance programs you do not need to fly the airline to get status. The only exception to this is AC who have just introduced steep minimum requirements.

Personally, I would most probably stick to A3. They have a decent earn/burn ratio while OZ is among the worst. And I wouldn't split my miles. Just stay with A3 for the easy status and you will be fine. OZ is only really good if you are after lifetime Gold status or if you need some specialty redemptions with lots of stopovers which OZ allows.
