QF dom to Qf in't interlining on 2 separate PNR

Title pretty much states it: I am flying SYD-MEL on QF, connecting to MEL-SIN on QF. Flights are on two different PNRs. There will be enough connection time.

Having had a couple of bad interlining experiences in NZ and Australia (UA, NZ, less so QF) I would like to make sure that bag interlining is not going to be an issue.

Thanks.

Definitely not an issue.

I recently did QF dom to BA int on 2 PNR's and bags were happily checked through.

Recently did MEL-BNE on QF and checked in baggage at MEL for transfer to separate ticket BNE-SIN, on SQ - all went smoothly.

QF->QF will be fine.

There won't be an issue at all with the bags being interlined. I would, however, cross-reference the PNRs just in case there's any problem with delays to your ex-SYD flight.

Talk with your TA or QANTAS.

This partially true. When the switch was made to the new Altea system it was found the CIA were not able to see some cross-referenced PNRs. That is, despite having been linked through the phone centre, the connection was not being shown in the booking page at check-in rendering it redundant.

Just provide the CIA with both booking references and let them know you wish to be thru-checked to your final destination.
