Grays.com is mid-auction. Grays eCommerce Group entered liquidation on 31 July.

Somewhere on Grays.com right now, a timed auction is counting down. The site is fine. The 4 August register entry belongs to the other Grays: Grays eCommerce Group Limited, ACN 125 736 914, whose creditors resolved on 31 July that the company be wound up.

If a ledger, a guarantee or an open claim says only "Grays", it now points at two different nine-digit numbers, and the difference between them is the difference between a trading counterparty and a liquidation.

The register carries the whole sequence. Administrators were appointed to Grays eCommerce Group Limited on 3 October 2025. On 19 January 2026 the company appointed the same two practitioners, Damien Pasfield and Jason Preston of McGrathNicol, as administrators again: a second administration, fifteen weeks after the first. What happened between the two appointments is not stated in the notices. The second meeting of creditors convened on 24 February, resumed on 30 April, resumed on 25 June, and resumed once more on 31 July. At that fourth sitting the creditors resolved the winding up, and under section 446A the company passed into creditors' voluntary liquidation the same day. Pasfield and Preston continue as liquidators, and McGrathNicol's own creditor page for the Grays Group records the same stage.

The identity half matters as much as the stage half. The company register carries three former names for the ACN, Mnet Group Limited, Mnemon Limited and Mercury Mobility Ltd, so paperwork from the entity's earlier years may not say Grays at all. And the marketplace's own footer today credits Slattery Grays Auction Group Pty Ltd, a different company that appears in no notice on this file. The register does not record changes of business ownership; it records the processes on each ACN.

The finished record: one brand, two companies, and on the older one a winding up that took two administrations and a meeting resumed across five months to arrive. Claims about pre-liquidation dealings sit with the ACN in liquidation; the auctions running today are a different company's business. Nothing published states why creditors voted as they did, or anything about the position of the business now trading under the name.

St Charbel's Care Centre entered administration five weeks after its home changed hands. Michael Gregory Jones of Jones Partners was appointed administrator of St Charbel's Care Centre Ltd, ACN 161 404 164, on 4 August, with a first creditors' meeting set for 14 August via Teams. The aged-care regulator's provider register records ownership of the Punchbowl residential home transferring to Aequra Residences Pty Limited with effect from 28 June 2026. The charity's most recent annual return, for 2024, reported A$12.1 million of total revenue and 80 full-time-equivalent staff. The company in administration and the provider now operating the home are different entities; a supplier or employee record that says St Charbel needs the date-resolved pair, not the name.

The First Guardian cleanup has reached the plaintiff side of the register. Among the day's 22 applications, Hunter 1 Investments Pty Ltd, ACN 144 793 073, faces a Supreme Court hearing at 10:30am on 19 August. The applicant is Falcon Capital Limited (In Liquidation) as trustee for the First Guardian Global Income Fund. The Federal Court ordered Falcon Capital and the First Guardian Master Fund wound up in April 2025 on ASIC's application, with FTI Consulting appointed. Teams tracking First Guardian entities can now meet them in the applications lane, not only in fund-level announcements. An application seeks an order; it establishes nothing about Hunter 1 Investments, and the notice states no basis of claim. ASIC's April 2025 announcement

The register carried 34 newly published distress entries. Those carrying a former or trading name are listed first. Dates are from the notice.

27 further companies appear on the register for this day: see the full day.

32 of the day's entities carry a trading, business or former name that differs from the legal name by more than case, punctuation or a corporate suffix. The entities below are the ones an exposure list of any shape would surface first: distress entries, then applications and stage changes. Solvent and procedural rows are counted but not shown.

Seven entities shown under Newly published distress above also carry other names and are not repeated here. 23 further entities carry at least one other name on record. The complete resolved name set for the day ships as the Ledger File.

Important: These are winding-up applications, not findings that the companies are insolvent or have been wound up. Hearing details are those listed in the notices and may change or may already have passed. Check the current court list and company status before acting.

17 further applications appear on the register for this day: see the full day.

These dates come from the notices and are recorded for reference. Confirm the current position before acting.

47 further dated obligations appear on the register for this day: see the full day.

These matters already appeared in an earlier issue. Both dates below are PUBLICATION dates, so the underlying events are earlier still. Neither step is visible to anyone reading a single day in isolation.

Today's register is a day of split identities. Grays resolves to two companies, one trading under new ownership and one in liquidation. St Charbel resolves to an operator in administration and a new operating provider recorded from 28 June. Same names, different nine digits, and only the digits act correctly in a ledger. What the record does not establish: why any process began, or the position of any business trading under a shared name.

Today's issue separated one auction brand into two companies, an aged-care operator from its successor, and a fund cleanup's court filings from the fund itself. Get the next Daily Register for each day's resolved names, ACNs, stages and court dates, connected before you have to act on them.
