You NEED to get back before it runs out, otherwise, you may need to apply again. A tourist visa will NOT allow you to work here.

If you have a permanent residency visa you should not need to worry about it. Permanent residency means you can live and work in Australia for the rest of your life. If you only have a temporary work visa then you need to leave before your visa expires and re-apply for another work visa. You are not allowed to work on a tourist visa and only allowed to be in Australia on a tourist visa for 3 months. If you stay longer than that and get caught on an expired visa they will deport you and you cannot enter for 5 years. If you are married to an Australian citizen then you can apply for a permanent residency visa through your spouse. If you have a particular type of job Australia is in need of workers for (like doctors) then you can apply for a permanent residency visa too. Australia has a huge shortage of skilled workers in certain fields. You can find out what these are if you go on-line and look it up. Good luck.

If you have permanent residency and you're in Australia, it won't run out, so you must have something other than that. Perhaps you mean that you had permanent residency and then left Australia on a Resident Return Visa which expires in March 2010. If you have a BF111 visa label in your subclass 155 visa, it will remain in force indefinitely provided you return to Australia within 3 years of each departure. If you do not have a BF111 label, you must visit a DIAC office to obtain one, but you may have already left it too late to do so. You should contact the embassy or consulate in your current country of residence as soon as possible. If you have left Australia and stayed away too long, you evidently did not sufficiently value your Australian Permanent Residency and it will lapse. You will then need to start from scratch to obtain it again. If your Authority to Return or Return Endorsement expires, you will not be able to re-enter Australia and work until you are granted a work visa of some kind. Tourist visas are for non-working tourists - no one is allowed to work on a tourist visa, regardless of their former status. If you work whilst on a tourist visa, you and your employer will probably be charged with immigration offences; you will probably be deported and you will probably be excluded from obtaining any other Australian visa for 3 years or more.
