Dear Wikipedians:

There is also a Citizens Advice Bureau network throughout Australia

Heres a few links...

http://www.citizensadvice.org.au/ http://www.cabjoondalup.iinet.net.au/ http://www.cabwa.com.au/index.htm

They are best dealt with in separate articles and distinguished in a disambigation page. Marshall46 (talk) 18:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some seven years after this comment I've done just that. Created article for Australian CAB DanielJCooper (talk) 13:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've created Citizens Advice Bureaus outside of the United Kingdom for the overseas bureaus as the individual pages came under a deletionist attack. DanielJCooper (talk) 23:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Remit

The article should clarify which kind of problems they help members of the public with. Jim Michael (talk) 23:07, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article says "A lot of the Citizens Advice service's work involves providing advice on issues such as debt management and welfare benefits, housing, immigration and asylum, employment, consumer complaints and landlord/tenant disputes". Does that not tell you? --Phil Holmes (talk) 11:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i've included a table of the types of cases Citizens Advice deals with DanielJCooper (talk) 13:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AdviceGuide

AdviceGuide has been merged onto the Cit A website so I've changed that little bit. ChrisSleeps 10:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC) CAB staff [Sheffield] — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisSleeps (talk • contribs)

Improvements

I don't know how many people watch this talk page but I am going to have a go at improving this article over the coming weeks and months. Everyone is free to chip in though DanielJCooper (talk) 14:18, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Citizens Advice. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20160303153319/https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/CitizensAdvice/Corporate%20content/Publications/One%20service%20strategy.pdf to https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/CitizensAdvice/Corporate%20content/Publications/One%20service%20strategy.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.
