United will check your bags all the way through to Melbourne.
My regular commute is SYD-LAX-ORD-ATL-ORD-LAX-AKL-SYD
Leaving Australia you have to collect your bags in LAX and rescreen but on the return you wont see your bag again until Melbourne.
UA/NZ seem to have a fantastic interline and in 80+ trips across the pond they have never lost my bags.
