I've got colleagues going through there in a few days so want to let them know if they should be asking for something?

Since Australia re-opened I believe the QF J lounge is open in SYD and this situation should have since been resolved (if the QF lounge is open depending on Qantas' schedule*), though for the OP in this case I can't comment on what the situation is like in BNE International.
*QF's International schedule is in flux a bit at the moment but they're building it back in. The late flights to HKG and NRT seem to get added/removed fairly frequently at the moment. It could indeed be that the QF Lounges aren't available for the late QR flight to DOH...

Based on what the departure board looks like between JQ/QF I'm guessing the lounges are going to be nice and quiet as well, so hopefully able to take full advantage of the QF Flounge before a nice snooze on the long leg to Doha...

Yeah the QF Brisbane lounge is only open for about 2 hours in the mornings and QR departs 2245 ish. The only open lounge at the moment in the evening is a Plaza Premium. There are a couple of open bars.
Update from this weekend.
Plaza at Brisbane now seems to be closed in the evening. So no lounges and only one open bar airside when QR are there. Someone managed to get a $50AUD voucher at check in but it was for food only no alcohol. Singapore Air now have a later departure than QR and were giving pre-printed $30 vouchers which could be used for alcohol. (for cross reference an espresso martini is about $20 AUD in Brisbane).

Can anyone advise if any lounge is available in Abu Dhabi for a Oneworld Sapphire travelling QR Y to DOH?
The Qatar database doesn't seem to be returning any results at all, including in LHR and DOH (so obviously not very helpful). The Oneworld site lists the Priority Pass "Al Dhabi Lounge" but states temporarily closed and does not list QR. Google is usually right and states it is open. It is pre-bookable for Ł26 which is inexpensive but AUD 210/Ł45 in person.
The AUH website states
Thanks in advance for recent experiences...

Any recent experiences at IAH? QR website says AF lounge but has a picture of the KLM lounge. I flew on QR out of IAH in J but don't recall which lounge check in staff mentioned. We just went to Amex lounge and didn't bother with AF or KLM. The Executive Club used to be the the lounge for EK and QR but I believe that is closed.
