This always happens if the bank you are using in Australia or wherever doesn't have a direct association with the recipient bank in Indonesia. The Commonwealth obviously didn't, but one of the other Aust banks may - you can find out by ringing around. The answer is to use a bank with a direct link or get your Balinese people to open an account with the Commonwealth. There may well still be a deduction to credit the Bali account but it will be small.
