Any Aussies here??? Please, I need help to find a good GP/Endo in Australia!

Does anyone know of a good GP or Endocrinologist in Australia that actually knows what they're talking about with regard to thyroid/pituitary/hypothalamus function?

I am desperately trying to find a doctor who can actually help me, but have had no success so far.

Brief background: Never been diagnosed, never been on any thyroid hormones. Suffering with tiredness/fatigue, weight gain, low mood, thinning hair, etc, for over 2 years. Been checked out by multiple doctors, and all say my thyroid is fine. Have had TSH, FT3, FT4, plus thyroid antibodies tested, but everything is 'in range' so they don't look any further.

TSH is in range (towards upper end of normal range), but FT3 and FT4 are at the lower end of normal range. Possibly Central Hypothyroidism (as suggested by a kind and helpful member of this forum).

I need to find someone who can look properly at my numbers and see what's really going on.

Do any of you Aussies know of a good GP/Endo??? Doesn't matter where in Australia, I'm so desperate that I am willing to contact anyone, no matter how far away they are.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
