No, but most. UA is still operating certain international routes in limited capacity.
UA is still flying into SYD daily
QF1/QF2 has not operated for some time.

QF have stated the A380 are grounded for months. Cannot see QF restarting QF1 SYD-SIN-LHR in July

While schedule is for May the QF/Au Government may extend to June-July. But no-one knows. May get a new update at the end on the month
As a guess would be hard to get Au permission to travel on the current situation.
Does the OP have a NZ passport / residence?
LHR-PER eliminates all transits to Au.
Currently 14 days isolation required on entry to NZ and isolation for the Au transit (MEL) if a transit is allowed. Cannot see that changing for 2020. May get a softening for Au-NZ residents TT.
