QF do have an interline baggage agreement with EY however it would depend on the length of time between flights eg if BNE QF SYD overnight then SYD EY AUH next day then no dice as they don't hold bags overnight. Basically if the QF CSA can already see the oncarriage flight in the Altea checkin system then your bag can be through checked.
Note that it could be separate tickets but same booking. I don't think QF & EY have an IATCI agreement to issue boarding passes however you could try and web check for EY or you could just get the boarding passes at the gateway city where you join the EY flight. It's worth checking with EY to see if they can see the luggage tag numbers which should have generated across from Altea. Have the baggage claim receipt with you in case they need to enter it into the EY checkin system.
