I am an Australian in Canada and my travel insurance ran out 7 days ago. My insurer will not extend my policy as it has been more than 48hrs since it lapsed, and they won’t issue a new policy because I have already left the country. Does anyone know of an insurance company that will offer cover after you have already left home?

Call your home owners insurance agent and ask them. You could be covered all ready!
At least for me… my health insurance will cover emergencies when I’m out of the country. I’m American though, I’m not sure about for others. Not sure if you can purchase another travel insurance policy though.
Doubt it, but call and find out
You might be eligible for a travel medical policy. You should check with one of the travel insurance comparison web sites that offer travel insurance. The major ones are:

Hello, Kat. Here is your solution. You can get great coverage from the industry leader and it can go into effect tomorrow. It does not matter that you are not at home. You can get a quote and buy the coverage over the Internet. It will cover you anywhere you go outside your home country, Australia. Of course, if something has happened during the time you were not covered, that will be excluded. Go to http://www.wavehelp.com/travel-medical/index.htm and click on the red phone booth next to TravelGuard. Read about “Worldwide Health” insurance and buy on-line if it suits you. The policy covers health issues and trip interruption issues as well.
I hope you are enjoying your trip – aren’t Canadians great!
Best wishes.
