Student Concession rates

If you are a foreign student - either a foreigner studying at an Australian school or a foreigner who is a student in a school outside of Australia you need to be aware of the concept of Student Concession rates.  These are student discounts.  But not all student discounts are equal opportunity so to speak.

Some student concession rates are only for Australians who are students (e.g. public transportation) yet other student concession rates (e.g. at museums) are open to students studying at an Australian school.  I haven't really run into much in the way of student concession rates for foreigners who are studying in a non-Australian institution, I'm sure they are out there... maybe?  
Addendum: 12/18/2012  Well they are alot closer than I thought... there's the Melbourne Museum which is FREE for students and the National Gallery of Victoria is free for everyone (except for the special exhibits)
