I just got two 10x10inch sheets of foam ordered from
www.micro-tools.com (I had it sent to my US office, and a cow-orker
who was there at the time brought it back to Oz for me).

I can send you a slice if you feel up to re-doing the seals yourself.
Alas it's the self-adhesive stuff, which is not the kind the gurus
recommend (too fiddly to fit to the narrow slots around the
film-door), but you could probably wipe off the adhesive before
fitting.

I'd imagine any competent camera repair shop should have a supply of
light-baffle foam that they can cut to fit.  Pre-cut foam kits are
available, but I don't know of an Australian source.

HTH,
        Chris.
