Scheduled to arrive in SYD Sunday 01 Sept? The AA73 flight that arrives today in ~2:00hrs is on time,
Airport info SYDNEY (SYD) - amenities, transfers, transport

Have you booked the cheapest or a flexible ticket? The QF domestic checkin agents at T1 are know to offer some flexibility, but not guaranteed.
Anyway many SYD MEL flights on QF, VA & JQ if you need to buy a walkup ticket. If you no show your SYD-MEL ticket any other flights on that ticket are likely to auto cancel
I just looked up the change fee, what I’ll probably do is pay 90 AUD per person to change it to a later flight. The only question remain is that how much time should I leave for the connection since I have to change it before my flight to Sydney at LAX
