ATO provides the following information on name mis-matches.

Australian residents and clearance certificates | Australian Taxation Office

Whether that helps in your situation I couldn't say.

Link also explains the process of getting the 15% back through your tax return.

Issue here is it is the purchaser's responsibility to make sure that they have received a clearance certificate from you with a matching name. If they don't withhold the 15% (when they are required to withhold) then they can be subject to a penalty for failure to withhold.
