You gave us certain specifications for the lathe (size, spindle bore etc) but nothing for the mill (e.g. horizontal versus vertical, spindle taper, table size etc).
Have a look through the milling machine section of this forum and you will see examples of the different types and sizes available. I don't know what the second hand market is like in Victoria (Pete O may be able to chime in here) but you may be able to find a business that is closing down or upgrading their machines.

Unless you want to do a pre-apprenticeship, there is pretty much nothing available here (in WA at least). I looked into this several years ago when I was getting started and all roads led to a dead end. However, it may be different in the eastern states.
