My rentals have a flight from ADL to SYD on the 2nd of August however due to plans changing need to move the flight to the 1st. Jetstar want to hit them up with an $80 fee to change, as much as another cheap flight!

From my research our best bet is to duck the higher fee and do it online to reduce it, ideally we escape the fee and sing songs of our success. But we are prepared to cop it on the chin for purchasing cheap inflexible flights. however, if anyone can impart some knowledge that may help reduce or rid us of such ridiculous fees, I am all ears (as are my parents) :D
 
It's JQ, let's be realistic here...

That's the joys of purchasing an inflexible fare.
 
Deep down I had accepted it but was hoping someone could pull a rabbit out of a hat :p
 
Nope thats the pain of booking the inflexible flights.

Had you bought the Plus bundle at the time of booking, then No change fees, and FF points and SCs, and luggage, seat selection and voucher
 
You may be better off just booking a new ticket for them on Tiger. They have a flight from ADL to SYD at 09:35 on 2 August selling for $65 - that's less than Jetstar's change fees for bookings without a Plus Bundle.

Precisely!

Purchasing a Plus bundle at time of booking eliminates change fees and the fare difference ( if any ) is only payable.

In the past I have had a booking with a plus bundle attached that I changed 4 times before actually flying the sector, because plans changed. It was nice not being slugged with a change fee for any of those four changes.
