You would not have to worry about 4 QF flights to maintain status - you might also want to consider whether crediting to AA might be better than BA - if you decided to do a redemption for UK-Australia, the award costs are dramatically different
With BA, the one way redemption cost for travel on, say, Qantas would be
Business Class : 125,000/150,000 miles plus £232.00 surcharge plus taxes
1st class 170,000/200,000 miles plus £232.00 surcharge plus taxes
With AA miles
Business C;laas : 87,500 miles plus taxes
1st class : 115,000 miles plus taxes
