Experiences on Qantas staff travel

Out of curiosity, if you had oneworld saphire - for this example lets say on Cathay - and you had a staff ticket, would they let you into the qantas club flying say canberra to melbourne. A friend was talking about QEE? but the idea of getting bumped on multiple flights doesn't sound great, unless I've got an unlimited supply of tea and coffee and LLB.

Qantas does not allow any* staff travel ticket into their lounges. You can be OWE with any airline even Qantas and they will still not allow you to enter if on a staff ticket.
Some airlines do though, don't know which ones.
*I should say though, there are very few exceptions to the above.

So the alternative would be priority pass, which is a catch 22 because they don't (domestically) exist in the same terminal (syd/mel/per)

Some airports actually have boiling water available for free.

Priority Pass or American Express lounges can be used on staff tickets were available. Same I would say for any other card that gives lounge access. But definitely not QF or Oneworld regardless of status or class of travel when on a staff ticket.
