Binocular collimation in NSW

I've got some Barska Storm 12x60 binoculars which I bought about two years ago. Each side is still wonderfully sharp, but they're pretty out of alignment. Is that still called collimation...?

Is there anywhere that will fix this relatively cheaply, either on the NSW Central Coast (preferable) or in Sydney? Google searches don't come up with much. Probably a simple job for someone who knows what they're doing (ie not me).

I still love these binoculars - I reckon 12x60 is the perfect maximum for handheld, and they go great on a tripod. The night I first unpacked them I saw the Galillean moons, and that right there was the end of any spare cash I had...
