This is correct. Non-BA carriers mean you can’t have an open jaw at origin, and you can’t have a stop over more than 72hours anywhere other than your destination (determined by IATA journey selection regs).

It was something that was overlooked for a long time, especially with Covid. But then Avios Group
got sick of passengers taking the piss with it, so have told BA to enforce the rules.

you will need to buy separate tickets, as you have two destinations

Is this some new rule, as I have heard of others who have done the same thing I want to do on the return from OZ?
