No alternative other than pay by a debit card issued by an Australia bank. You need to pass a 100 pts test in order to open an account with an Australian bank, IN PERSON, in Australia.
It is not just Australia.
Last year I bought tickets on ClickAir (Spainish LCC), the CC fee was like 5 or 7 Euros on 2 tickets worth 30 Euro each before small taxes.
The British Railway also charges CC fee when you purchase Rail tickets online.
