Accessing QF club after international flight. I'll be arriving in Melbourne on QF94 without an ongoing flight - is there a way I can access the QF Club or FCL (I'm Platinum) before leaving the airport?
There's no Arrivals lounge that you can use so you can't go back through to the departure level to use the lounge. In any case, unless you are travelling again on Qantas or a OneWorld airline that day you can't use the lounges.

You can get to Sydney FCL in Sydney International, but not Melbourne
However, you can walk 100 metres to domestic terminal next door in Melbourne and being Platinum they'll let you in for sure.

How do you access the FCL lounge in Sydney if you're not travelling again?

Answers above are correct in the you cannot access the International lounge.
As a Qantas Platinum however, you would have access to the Domestic Lounge, under the Arrivals access conditions.

charlieg - You can't access the FCL in Sydney either - Arrivals and Departures are on separate levels.
