Thanks everyone - agree expert help would be good! I may end up emailing Qantas directly. QF website itself is a bit cryptic - depending on what they mean by 'Qantas/Emirates'.
if the customers flights are all held in the same booking and are ticketed on Qantas or Qantas/Emirates and/or a oneworld airline, the baggage will be transferred between the flights and the customer will receive a boarding pass at check-in for their onward flights.
My hope is that as QF has special relations with both BA and EK this might override the lack of an interline agreement between BA and EK.
