Visa and Mastercard are both almost universally accepted.
Fees are charged by the issuing bank - nothing to do with Australian banks - so you need to check with your bank!! Debit cards work fine - Australian ATM's are affiliated with Maestro, Cirrus, Plus and all the other usual operating systems!

Not a problem to put your credit card into credit and take cash advances.
Any charges will be from your own bank not from Australian Banks. It would be no different from when we travel overseas. We do exactly the same thing and have never had a problem in any country that we have visited.
