After further research it has been suggested that

VH-OQE had to be ferried to Melbourne Friday afternoon instead of continuing on from Sydney with passengers as QF94, due to the fact there was not an A380 qualified crew available to be put together on short notice in Sydney (obvious now when I think about it); hence the reason for passengers off QF94 being put on the A330 instead.

As someone unfamiliar with day-to-day flight crew workings, does this mean there was an A380 crew already in Melbourne on the morning of Friday 26/2, rostered to work on that day's QF93? If so does that mean there are A380 cabin crews based in Melbourne as well as Sydney?
