NSW Employer won't provide separation certificate
- Thread starter rsjaus
- Start date
Although there are a few ifs and buts, basically... no.
Refusal to provide a certificate can be an offence by the employer.
Consider sections 199 and 200 of the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999.
Do you have anything in writing, text, email etc (that is, not just spoken words)?

The quote is not the way it works. The employer MUST provide a separation certificate or be in breach of the law.
Suggest giving them one more opportunity, and put in writing, preferably email, to provide it in 7 days else you will have to report it to Centrelink.

Oof 😬 employer won’t provide a separation certificate — classic employment + compliance spaghetti vibes 😅 Suddenly it’s not just “I left,” but Centrelink, entitlements, and proof of service all tangled up 👀
Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: unclear HR processes, informal exit protocols, or “eh we’ll sort it later” vibes. Once agencies or payroll get involved, it’s a tangle of requests, timelines, and compliance checks 😬
Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent exit procedures, and compliance-aligned pipelines help ensure separation certificates and documentation are handled properly from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where multi-step approvals and HR layers can get… messy 😅
Anyway, loving this convo — separation certificate nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
