It lives in the understory of rainforest, woodland, dry forest, swamps and coastal scrublands. == Taxonomy == Placed in the family Pardalotidae in the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy, this has met with opposition and indeed is now no longer accepted; they instead are currently placed in the independent family Acanthizidae. It is alternately considered a subspecies of the smaller white-browed scrubwren, and further research is needed to understand the relationships between the two species. == Subspecies == There are two subspecies of Tasmanian scrubwren: S. h. humilis – nominate subspecies; Tasmania S. h. tregellasi – King Island
