Hi Grant,
Thanks for your questions. Please note that the following responses are for the ME Everyday Transaction account.

You can use this while traveling in Australia, though you need to be an Australian resident to be eligible for this account. You will receive a refund on fees incurred at all other ATMs in Australia within 30 days of the transaction.
This card can be used overseas, wherever MasterCard is accepted. International ATM withdrawals incur a $4 fee and a currency conversion fee of 2.50% of AUD value.
If you intend to travel outside of Australia you may want to consider a travel debit card instead.
Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions of the card to ensure that you got everything covered on your banking transactions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
