Launceston Skeptics is a group of people who are interested in the promotion of critical thinking and helping others to make rational decisions based on evidence. We believe this is especially important when dealing with health, a field in which there are a large number of unqualified people claiming to be able to improve health with untested, implausible and sometimes expensive therapies. This can be particularly dangerous if people forgo proper medical treatment for unproven alternative therapies.

We are open-minded, but will always seek evidence whenever others make extraordinary claims, whether they be alleged psychic ability, healing through various magical or any other supernatural means. We at Launceston Skeptics believe that in the end, the evidence is king and not just faith.
