CONCESSIONS Students/Youths Young visitors should join the International Youth Hostels Federation before leaving their own country. Australia has a widespread network of youth and backpacker hostels. International Student or Youth Identity Cards may entitle the holder to discounts on attractions. Senior Citizens Many attractions offer a discount for senior citizens; the age limit varies from 60 to 65, and your passport should be sufficient evidence of age. However, few discounts on travel are available to overseas senior citizens, as an Australian pension card is usually required to qualify. |
