TLDR : Answer Summary
A visa run to Malaysia will not grant a 30-day extension on an Aussie passport. Australians can receive a new 30-day Visa Exempt entry by leaving Thailand and re-entering, or they can apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa at a consulate or embassy for a 60-day entry stamp. Both options can be extended by 30 days at immigration offices in Thailand. However, Australians are limited to two visa exempt entries by land border per calendar year.

You won't get any extension by leaving Thailand.

Aussie's will get a new 30day Visa Exempt entry OR if you go to a consulate/embassy and buy a Single Entry Tourist Visa you'll get a 60 day entry stamp. Both can be extended by 30days at immigration offices inside Thailand.

Note for visa exempt entries most countries are limited to only 2 by land border each calendar year.
