Changes to a classic reward redemption

The scenario.
looking at booking MEL to LHR on a classic rewards redemption on Qantas.
I have found 5 redemption tickets available next month which are hard to come by.

Qantas states that any classic redemption can be changed free of charge.

If I was to book these 5 tickets but have no plans to travel on those dates is it possible to make free changes to travel August next year (where currently I cannot see availability)??

Essentially seeing if this is a hack to enable travelling on the dates I want even though 5 classic reward tickets are not available.

Cheers

There has to be availability on the new date too, if the change is voluntary.

This isnt a strategy. Booking 5 tickets you found nine months earlier than you wish to travel has no advantage.

In fact, youll pay quite expensive taxes now rather than later.

Just because you secure five tickets in November doesnt guarantee you tickets next August.
