constellaton,

If you go to the CASA website, under Aviation Medicals, then under search for a Medical Examiner, then select DAMEs approved to conduct medicals for Overseas Flight Crew Licensing Authorities. You will find out doctors approved to do FAA Medicals.

You have a few options in Sydney.

The FAA medical is straight forward, you normally need to do part of it online before seeing the doctor. The FAA has 8 different tests that can be used.
