Australian SkepticsAustralian Skeptics

The Australian Skeptics Inc. is a group that investigates the paranormal and pseudo-science from a responsible scientific viewpoint.

The Australian Skeptics were founded in Victoria in 1980, after a visit to Australia by James Randi, who encouraged its establishment based upon the USA Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.

Though originating from a Melbourne based organization, it has since grown to a national one and currently has some 2100 members with branches Australia-wide.

Tasmanians interested in becoming involved and discussing pseudoscientific, paranormal and similarly anomalous phenomena from a responsible, scientific point of view, whilst also having a laugh, can join us via the website below or join us for our monthly meet-up, Skeptics in the Pub. Phone 03 6239 6669 to confirm or email.

Most people are familiar with the more popular subjects that we investigate such as astrology, fortune telling, UFOs and crop circles. Did you know that we also investigate topics like fundamentalism, Feng Shui, subluxations and vitamin supplements?
