statravel.com (call, don't try to book online) or studentuniverse.com are the ways to go in your case. There are caveats if you're planning to upgrade him, but, if not, certainly all studentuniverse fares and most statravel fares carry something like a $50 or $75 change fee. Painless, especially if you want to take a look at what a B fare to SYD is running nowadays.
