In general, shareholders of a company are not responsible for its debts.

However, if the company trades whilst being insolvent then the directors of the company are liable for paying creditors accounts, ATO for PAYG and GST taxes.

If the company is a subsidiary of a holding company, then the parent holding company is liable for the debts if it didn't prevent the subsidiary trading whilst insolvent.
