Yeah Henry isn't making it easy.
I did find this that might help narrow dates down on him a bit. Son, Martin Richard Phillips has a military record and has his mother as his next of kin [until he married] Address looks to be Western Australia but having his mother noted and not his father left me wondering if he died before 1916 when Martin joined. So maybe looking at a death for Henry Charles before 1916.

Thanks gibbo.

Yes, it is WA.

This is a typical complicated one.

Marriage 1918 PHILLIPS MARTIN RICHARD - KERSE JANE ST GILES EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/04 0091

1925 WA Electoral Roll - Swan - Toodyay
PHILLIPS Martin Richard, Booralaming, farmer
PHILLIPS Jane, Booralaming, housewife

Two divorces that may be linked although not proved. Remarriages for both parties followed by another divorce.

Not sure about Vic. gibbo.

Birth 3034/1891 KILFOYLE Verdie Linda - Wm - Alice Ann STEVENS b. North Fitzroy, Vic.

but both marriages were in WA.

Phillips family may never have been in Vic.

Strathalbyn is a long way north of Encounter Bay.

I've been searching Trove again in 1880s looking in that area.

William Henry Phillips but no Henry Charles.

I have to log out and pack the laptop away, heading home tomorrow so packing the car tonight to leave early in the morning. If nothing more has been found I will have another look in a day or 2 once I get home and sorted.

Thanks Val.

Good to get the name of Henry's father but it may not help find Henry's death.

Ok, we had a suggestion Henry had died by 1916 now possibly by 1908 or 1903.
