I read this in the page you gave me

V Australia International Business Class Guests and Velocity Platinum and Gold members can access the lounges of V Australia and Velocity airline partners when travelling internationally.

Thanks for that. So where does it say that this does not apply to partner lounges overseas and that it only applies to VA lounges in australia?

In the quoted sentence:

I fly to Adelaide on Tuesday from Sydney for work. Company policy is domestic travel is via Qantas, but I'm a VA Goldie and am hoping to put the Anytime Access to the test on Tuesday morning!

It works fine. I've used it in Per and Mel this weekend. No issues at all.

A bit more difficult in SYD given the terminals each use

I had to drop off a friend at the airport in Canberra, and decided to take advantage of the anytime access benefit.

I had never been to the lounge in Canberra, and I was very impressed with the treatment. Warm greetings from the lounge dragon and from the staff. Good selection of drinks and snacks (compared to Qantas Pub, not the J lounge). Pretty empty though (Sunday 6ish pm).

I'll go back when actually travelling. Felt kinda coughty just popping in, eating/drinking and leaving...
