Hello!! Not sure if they work or not but check out the charges because I checked with Commonwealth before I went home the last time and they charge through the nose to you use your atm card overseas.. serious rip off..
We did this instead as it was much cheaper - http://www.commbank.com.au/personal/...el-money-card/

On a similar note, I have a Wizard Clear Advantage Mastercard (no annual fee, no overseas charges, exchange rate similar to XE.com). It is the older type of card without a chip and I do not have a PIN. What's the deal with using this card in Europe and the UK as they are all chip and pin over there? Can I still sign?

Yep, mine did. Just check your card has one of the following logos on the front or back (every card should) it should have one of these: Plus, Cirus, Mastro, Visa or Mastercard.
