Thanks so much !
Someone has posted already the detailed info -
But to answer your questions no blood test, just urine sample which gets sent for testing and breath test on the day.
There is a hearing test, you put the headphones on, listen to the recording and press the button when you hear the beeps - pretty straight forward.
Also a vision test, for colour blindness and also basic vision test reading the chart from various distances.
Yes I had to do push ups (was allowed to do them on my knees and i think it was only 15), sit ups, planks, overhead press, lifting weighted bags, pushing and pulling a cart. All the usual type manual handing exercises.
Don't feel stressed if you aren't 100% confident with push ups etc - like the other person said it isn't pass or fail, they just send an overall rating to Qantas.
