If you need medicines you need to have a letter from your doctor, even for the pills you can buy in each shop at home, as the drug laws are different abroad.
Your doctor will give you a letter with the medical names for the medicines as well as what is in them and confirms that you need them and are allowed to travel with them. If you need presciptions, ask him to write one in case something goes wrong and you have to buy them in Australia.
If your medicines are liquids you are allowed to bring a certain amount aboard the plane in your carry on, check with the airline.
If they are pills or powders you should take them in your carry on with the letter. If you have to split them between cases, make a copy of the letter of the doctor and put the copy with the medicines in the hold luggage.
Also make sure there is a label on each package, with the brandname and what the medicine is, and if you get them on prescription, with your name and your doctors name and how you should take them.
Australia has very strict rules about not bringing in any animal and plant products.
That does include wood, seeds, wool that has not been processed, shells and much more.
But clothing and shoes are ok.
For the weight limit and what you are allowed on board, that depend on where you fly from, and with whom.
Mostly it is about 20 kg or 50 pound in one case or bag for check-in and a moderate bag for carry on, mostly only size limits are given, but some airlines also have weight limits.
Best check with the website of your airline. They all have a website that states these things, or ask your travel agent, if you have one.
