Is there a way to rescue orphaned and expiring Qantas Frequent Flyer miles?

Yes! All you need to do is earn a single point in an 18 month period to have them not expire.
I track ways on my site to earn points without flying, and easy ways to earn Qantas Points should help.
At the very simplest, the Qantas Wellbeing app tracks your steps, which gets you a few free points every day, even without an insurance policy.
One more way to keep your points active is by regularly adding more qantas points to your account.
Qantas offers a free travel card which can be used in Australia as well (I’m assuming you are in Aus)

You just need to load up money in it and use it as a debit card and you get points for spending.
I use this often and it helps get some points, but ya the points per spend is very low.
But helps keep your points active.
Yes, there is: since transfers are free, unlimited and can be any number over 5,000 miles, you can transfer some miles to them, and transfer the combined sum back! Here’s how it works:
- Family member has (say) 4,000 orphaned miles
- You transfer 5,000 miles (the minimum) to your family member
- Family member now has over 5,000 miles, so they can transfer the combined 9,000 miles to you
That’s it! And if you have multiple people in the same situation (say, kids/spouse who flew together on the same flight), you can reduce the overhead a bit by chaining the transfers: A->B->C->A.
