Firstly they give you a couple of pages to fill out that ask you all about your medical history ie. have you ever been to hospital, if so what for, any medical conditions you have or have had, any medications you have taken long term or are taking etc etc. It's fairly thorough.
Then a nurse will test eyesight, hearing, blood pressure, check height and weight and take a urine sample for drug testing.
Then you will see a doctor who goes through all the information, asks a few questions, and then gives a physical examination. You'll be asked to bend down and touch your toes, You'll be asked to lie down, lift each leg as high as you can keeping it straight. They check for hernia's by getting you to breath deeply while they feel around your stomach, and check heart beat etc Then you sit up, extend your arms straight out in front of you (shoulder height) and have to push up, down, left, right, against the doctors hands. Thats pretty much it.
I did mine In Sydney and It cost about $150 from memory

Hope that helps...
