Any engineering company should be able to do it for you, but the
difficulty will be doing it in the car. Unfortunately cast aluminium
alloy used in automotive components is ridiculously filthy in terms of
impurities, and it's difficult to weld at the best of times when you
have the component dismantled and thoroughly prepped for welding let
alone still mounted in the car where it's most likely to be difficult to
gain proper access to.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone in NSW who specialises in such repairs
and the only thing I can recommend is that you search for anyone who
does alloy welding.
It's a shame you don't live down here, as I'd happily do it for you.
