Travelling in Qatar First as a Qantas Platinum entitles you to one guest on any oneworld flight - through both status benefits (see fine print #1 below)

and class of service benefits...

I have personally seen the Qantas SYD First lounge desk invent rules around the guest needing to leave the lounge when you depart, if their flight is later than yours.

I have seen this as well.

Alas, I can see it from their perspective though. In the screenshot you posted from the OW website, it says “may invite one guest to join them in the lounge.” The argument would be that when the customer with access leaves, the guest is no longer ‘joining’ the customer with access if they were to stay.

Similar language exists in the QF lounge T&Cs. Clause 1.2 states “Eligible guests can access the lounge once only for an onward flight and must be accompanied by the eligible customer.” Again, once the passenger with access has left, the guest is no longer ‘accompanying’ the eligible customer if they were to stay.
