Can my Q Bag Tag be used by another traveller?
I have multiple Q Bag Tags from my airline Qantas.
If I lend one to a friend, are they able to use it?
It's unclear whether the tag is permanently associated with my frequent flyer number, or if it is associated with a frequent flyer number only upon each check-in.
I have tried calling the support line (13 11 31), but the wait is usually too long.

The Q Bag Tag is basically an rfid chip embedded device, that when you check your bag, the id is read and then programmed into the system so the bag can be routed / traced. So in theory it shouldn't matter which Q-Tag you use, as it would be read every time you check in.
But I am not sure if Qantas programs additional data onto the chip such as your frequent flyer number or name or has already stored the rfid numbers in your FF profile or simply connects the rfid id to your account each time you check in.
You could loan the device to your friend, let them try it on a flight. Worse case scenario at check in the system will reject the Q Tag because it doesn't match the name on the booking and print out an old fashion "temporary" tag.

Your Q Bag Tag will store your flight information, after reconciling with your Qantas card or boarding pass. The Q Bag Tag does not store any personal information. Note: Your bag will only be accepted if the bag drop can successfully recognise and read Q Bag Tag.Is home printed bag tag mandatory?

You can print a baggage tag at a self-service check-in kiosk at the airport and proceed to a Self-service Bag Drop or Bag Drop desk. If there are no self-service check-in kiosks at your departure airport or if you have already checked in online, you can get the baggage tag from a Bag Drop desk.(여자)아이들((G)I-DLE) - 'MY BAG' (Choreography Practice Video)
