Which flight has QR cancelled from MAN on your travel day? I am surprised QR have cancelled anything on that route.
I doubt it greatly helps, but bear in mind the QR service from BHX and EDI (and at EDI you get a decent lounge at least). That said, legally you hold a ticket from MAN to SYD so BAH will need to cover that trip in the same cabin one way or the other, and it's probably helpful to have 2 or 3 different preferred options when you call. "Cathay" is what is screaming at me here (but stay the night in HKG). There isn't a legal requirement to offer you from BHX or EDI, it just tends to suit airlines to offer this. I don't expect any big problems there. And obviously, do a mercenary re-calc on the booking, just in case you spot a cheaper option as a new purchaser.
