Can a recreation scuba diver purchase a portable scuba dive compressor in Australia?

I am in the market for a 3.5 cu. psi portable scuba dive compressor, but to date, I have not been able to locate a distrbutor in Australia who can satisfy this request.

Currently, I do have a 3.5cu. psi portable Bristol dive compressor which is approximately 25yrs old, but as I do not have access in Australia to spare parts, filters, oils and charcoal, I am reluctant in using this compressor without it first being completely rebuild.

This is the reason for updating to a new model so that I am able to have access to the necesary service components that are needed and required for the compressor to deliver clean air at all times.
