I am off to Oz in January with a WHV, and need advise about medication.
They do mark all packages, and many medications can't be brought into australia becuase of our medicare scheme. I know from my own medications that in australia you need a paient care number to recieve a script for any medication, your best way to look is to contact the aust gov medicare if not a customs/border office via the internet

try to navigate from there it might help.
I have to say i found it difficult to get into the uk with my medications!
It shouldn't be a problem, I had to take my medication with me. But when I got their, i registered with a doctor. That cost my $90AUD, but they gave me a prescription for 6 months worth of meeds. Just take your UK documents with you, and you shouldn't have a problem.
