You don't fly enough for status. If you have to fly for work see if you can convince your employer to fork at least part of a Koru membership.
Flying to Europe twice in a year will bank you about 48k miles butt-in-seat. This would be enough to reach *G on OZ, ONLY if you book your tickets in a booking class that will earn full miles. Do check that BEFORE you buy your tickets, feel free to post here if you need help.
