Luck will be involved but a few things to try.

1. Check from 360 days out. While Qantas releases at 355 days, some partners release earlier (e.g. CX)
2. Set up an alert on a site like seats.aero or Pointsyeah
3. Be prepared to book partner airlines (e.g. FJ - noting that FJ’s business product ranges from world class on the A350 to very weak on their 737s and A330s)

But with that high degree of inflexibility, be prepared to pay cash.

The Qantas release date is for Gold Status and above Frequent Flyers. It's about half that for lower levels. Don't know about partner airlines.

We are in Perth doing the same trip this April, and found that flying via HK on CP was the best option. May not suit you, but either way, there's a lot of water to transit to get there...
