how many naturopaths are there in tasmania
Tasmania appears to have a very small naturopath workforce, but there is no single official public count because naturopaths are not statutorily registered in Australia. The best current national source I found lists 2,400 employed naturopaths in Australia and shows Tasmania at 2.5% of that workforce, which works out to roughly 60 naturopaths in Tasmania if you apply that share directly.
What that means
- The number is an estimate , not a regulated headcount, because naturopaths aren’t registered in the same way as many other health professions.
- A business-directory style source also shows thousands of naturopathic practitioner records across Australia, but it does not provide a clean Tasmania-only total in the snippet available.
- So the most defensible quick answer is: about 60, give or take , based on the latest occupation profile data.
Why the number is fuzzy
- Naturopathy in Australia is largely self-regulated, so workforce counts can vary by source and method.
- Census-style and occupation-profile estimates may undercount practitioners, especially those who work part-time, across multiple clinics, or outside standard reporting systems.
TL;DR
Tasmania likely has around 60 naturopaths , based on a 2.5% share of the 2,400 employed naturopaths reported nationally. Because the profession is not formally registered, treat that as an approximation rather than an exact count.
