The only card that I know of that will provide this is the AMEX Platinum Charge card - the annual fee is steep (at AUD 1,200), but with the AUD 300 travel credit, plus comprehensive travel insurance and a truck load of other benefits built in - it is still, in my opinion exceptional value for money.

The key caveat is that you need to be either (a) wealthy enough not to worry about the annual fee, or (b) a heavy traveller...

I travel a lot - north of 90+ dom/intl flights per year and can't argue with the value for money

Thanks MarkPk and Freshthoughts...

I saw Westpac Altitude Black is another one...with 395Aud a year with 2 complimentary lounge access(Amex at Syd T1) and 2 priority pass if you choose Altitude awards instead of Qantas rewards(if you choose Qantas rewards you will get 2 Qantas lounge access, not priority pass). And there is no travel credit or free flights with this card. The only catch is 4 complimentary lounge access each year with this card.

Points earning ratio is good too.
