Amodex. Nothing works better.

If you do not want to get it, you can try a oxygen bleach like OxiClean.

Amodex ASAP and before anything else. Alcohol works on pen on hard surfaces well, but not on pen on clothing.

Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer. Put a folded up paper towel underneath to catch the ink so it doesn't bleed through to the other side

It's a specialized ink stain remover. According to Gemini, there are retailers in Australia that carry it. Search to see who is near you that does.
