I've booked a flight SYD - MEL (QF), and then MEL - TOK - BLR (JL).

My booking however shoes the entire route as a single trip, with a "layover" in MEL of 20.5 hours. I land on a Sat morning in Melbourne and take off on Sunday morning.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to collect my bags in Melbourne, given this shows up as a single itinerary?
Qantas haven't been too helpful in getting me an answer - all I've gotten is "you will know when you check in".
 
Melbourne doesn’t hold bags overnight so you’ll need to pick them up.

No airport in Australia checks a bag through "overnight". You'll need to get your bags at Melbourne then re-check them in on Sunday. If you haven't already, book yourself a hotel near the airport (remeber ibit budget has no lift).
 
There is smarte Carter luggage storage at Melbourne airport.
I think between T2 and T3
Presumably the OP is seeking something for themselves as well given that the question was getting their luggage back in MEL.
