I think this is the wrong forum for this, will get a better respnse if moved. Helpful to know if you are here on a multi-entry visa or a one year "Extension of Stay" and when does it expire? If the "Extension of Stay", then yes, you should apply for a re-entry permit.

If you have a extension of stay Non-O based on marriage or something else then yes you need to get a re entry permit and the same for a NON-B if you have a extension based on working, if you have a standard Non-O that has ben issued out of the country then you do not need a re entry permit you can come and go as many times as you like on that one

An extension of stay is issued only in Thailand from the immigration office and it is this that you need a re entry permit, anything that was issued out of the country you do not need a re entry permit, an extesnion of stay based on marrige means that you go to the immigration and apply to stay in the country for the reason of supporting your family and you are married, a NON-O issued out of the country based on marriage means that the reason you want to come to Thailand is that you are married so there is the difference

In future you may wish to inquire about that for next tome as it is only 1900 baht a year, you never have to leave the country unless you want to and it saves you having to go back to Aus to get one, you only need to show savings of 400,000 baht in a thai bank for the last 3 months or proof that you pay tax on 40,000 if you are working or a certified leter from your embassy that you are recieving a salary from a company outside of thailand that is equivalent to 40k per month

A re-entry permit only preserves your current permitted to stay time in Thailand.

As you appear to have a multi entry non immigrant O visa each entry during visa validity gets a new 90 day stay so a re-entry permit is not what you would want unless return was after expiration of the actual visa.

If visa will be valid on return you just want to use that for a new 90 day stay. If visa will be invalid on return you could obtain a re-entry permit to keep your current stay alive. But is would not add any days to it.

Check the use before date on the visa itself - if your return before that date you will get a new 90 day stay and not need a re-entry permit.

If your visa runs out in October when your are back home, just get a new one year type O visa.
