Bags checked through MEL-SYD(QF)-DOH(QR)

Hi, it's years since I did a domestic to international transfer at SYD (avoid like the plague!). But frequent flyer tix has forced this outcome for next trip. Help! Can we check in bags at MEL QF domestic and have them transferred to our QR flight in SYD without us manually collecting and rechecking? There is a single QF confirmation code for all segments in the trip. (Our friends at American AAdvantage have provided 1st class SYD-DOH and biz class MEL-SYD and DOH-EBB for just 100K miles and $160. Nice enought to put up with the transit!)

Yes (on the way out). If your return is the same, then you need to collect in SYD to clear customs, then redeposit at the bag drop at International before connecting domestic back to MEL.
