Hi --
I'm assuming you are in Sydney, Australia.
I do not know of any doctors in Australia, but I know that there is a
very active endometriosis support group on Yahoo for women
in Australia.
They have 124 members in Australia, so hopefully one of them can
recommend
a specialist for you.
Here's the address:

Good luck!
