Jetstar is a low cost carrier and there will be no FF miles earned unless on a flexible fare ( and not sure if you would be able to credit those miles to EK if you wanted to do that )
Qantas does operate a service some days from SYD-ZQN which would be a much more preferable option ( to me ) than a jetstar service out of Melbourne
