Hi Mark,
I'm from Sydney and I saw a guy at Westmead Private. I haven't been operated on but saw him for a consult for ADR/fusion.
If you want his name I can give it to you, I don't know if he does ADR revisions though.
There is a neuro in South Australia that has a good reputation for taking on very difficult fusion revisions, but can't think of his name, if you would like, I can ring someone who was revised by him and get back to you.
The other thought I had is to ask your neurosurgeon who HE thinks is the best for revision surgery. As someone suggested, Matthew Scott-Young has a pretty good reputation, but he is in Queensland.
If it were me in this situation, I would be trying to see the guys in Germany. They are the best of the best. It would cost a lot more than being done here, but if you can afford it, it might be the safest and best outcome for you.
Take care
Hucky
