I have been searching for hours but can't find concrete answers on the transfer process at Sydney T1.

I am flying with Jetstar from Seoul to Melbourne via Sydney T1.

I understand that international to domestic transfers with Jetstar require me to collect luggage and check-in again at the domestic terminal. However, my flight from Seoul (JQ48) and the connecting flight from Syd-Mel (JQ62) arrives and departs from the T1 international terminal.

So my questions are:
1. Has anyone else done a similar Jetstar connection through Sydney T1 and is 2.5 hours sufficient transfer time?
2. In the case of arrival and departure within T1 international, does Jetstar check luggage all the way through to Melbourne or do I need to collect and check-in the luggage again?
3. Can you run me through what I need to do for the transfer once I arrive in Sydney. Do I stay air side when I arrive at Sydney airport or do I need to clear immigration/customs, collect luggage, check-in and then enter through immigration again (or is the domestic flights at T1 through a different entrance)?

Thanks for any advice. Google isn't helping and AI seems to give me 10 different answers.
