Withholding employment separation certificate

Hi quit my job in January and was overpaid in my last pay. How it works here in Australia is that you can’t get welfare (Centrelink) until you have a Employment separation certificate. Well I’ve been chasing that up for the last few weeks and today I got an email saying they won’t give me one until I pay the overpayment amount in full. The problem is I don’t have the money it was $900. I’m wondering if anyone here knows if this is legal? (In Australia) Thanks in advance
