A Tasmanian woman who was allegedly doused with petrol and set alight remains in a critical condition in hospital.

The 43-year-old was rushed to the Royal Hobart Hospital on Friday night following the alleged attack at Austins Ferry.

She is in an induced coma in a critical but stable condition, a hospital spokesman says.

The woman's partner, a 45-year-old Austins Ferry man, has been remanded in custody and will appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday charged with causing grievous bodily harm.
