Will Qantas waive change fees for existing bookings? (WHO Pandemic Declaration)

I have numerous international QF flights coming up for Singapore and USA (Seattle) and I really do not want to go. QF has cancelled three of those flights and re-routed me via other cities. I just wish QF would do what other airlines have done and allow those with existing bookings to postpone our trips to a later date.

For me:
United has allowed me to change routings and dates for no fee.
Finnair has allowed me to change my city routings and postpone flights to November for no fee or fare difference
Alaska Airlines has been very good and allowed complete refunds
Even Air Asia issued me with a complete refund (BKK-PVG flight).

Qantas - existing fare rules apply. Do you think Qantas will be kind and allow passengers to refund or postpone especially since the WHO has now declared this a pandemic? It would seem that the policy of Qantas does not align with the WHO recommendation to minimalize movement.
