Q: I am looking 4 a paediactric migaine specialist in Australia, preferrably in Melbourne?

I know this is US site but I am struggling to find a specialist here.  Any suggestions would be very welcome.  Although I am sure the diagnosis we have is correct I would like to know if there is a paediactric migraine specialist here in Australia.  From everything I have read that is the next step.  We have had years of tests but very little information on management.  This is for my son who is six but was diagnosed with hemiplegic migraine at the age of 4.  I have found this site a great help by the way.
