Any ideas on what I can do to fly to CNS?
As above, no Australian domestic Star Alliance airline (RIP Ansett). On cash fares UA will offer Au domestic flights with a local airline.
Some airlines from Asia fly to CNS.

Airlines that fly in Australia domestically. Excludes some small operators. Take
careful note of the fare conditions including checked & carry-on baggage. If doing the SYD transfer on same day allow plenty of time for T1 T2/T3 transfer. UA also fly to MEL.
