The answer may be "never". January is a peak time for Au travel. QF frequent flyers can book fom 355 days out
Awards with AA ff miles USA to/from Australia are hard to get. Business class awards are very hard to get
Why SYD-DFW-JFK? AA do not allow stopovers.
QF fly SYD-LAX-JFK. Any domestic flight in USA may be on AA
QF also fly from BNE/MEL to LAX/SFO/HNL (but not from all airports to all airports)

In the AA forum are these dedicated threads
