Thank you. Great advice. Am planning to use my Australian government ID for a stay in Canada shortly

My experience (as always, ymmv) is that Hiltons
outside the U.S. usually have "WORLDWIDE GOVT RATE" in the rate info for the government rate, and are as a result pretty broad in what they accept. It's U.S.-based Hiltons that are more likely, though it varies by property, to accept only U.S. federal government ID.
