Is the HEAVY suffix a variation from or alignment to ICAO standard procedures?

And somebody please explain how QF446 HEAVY calling a separate frequency before you gives you any idea that you're following a hvy? You may even be following an aircraft with 60 track miles on the other side of the TMA... ... isn't situational awarenesss better suited to a description of the leading aircraft once in the circuit or on final?
