You will need to collect and re-deposit bags in SYD anyway due to customs and quarantine clearance requirements. The only difference with bags tagged all the way to MEL is that they do not need to be re-tagged, only dropped off.
This question may be best answered if moved to either the VA or Etihad forums.
