Personally, I would be concerned about the connection time. There's no margin for delays, and because you are on separate tickets they don't need to help you. I'd try to arrive on an earlier flight.
Since QF is a oneworld carrier, AA is required to protect the traveler in the event of a misconnect -- even on separate tickets -- assuming that the itinerary satisfies the MCT for the connection:
