You can apply for an upgrade on a QF marketed flight (QF flight number) operated on a QF aircraft on an QF eligible ticket with QF points. Not all QF fare/tickets are able to be upgraded. Any way the odds of winning the QF upgrade lottery are low.
QF also have the bidding/auction system. Will not be cheap. If this earns more BA avois, than the fare you paid for I have no idea
