Monotoca submutica is endemic to Tasmania. It is a widespread species in southern and western Tasmania, where it is found in subalpine forests and woodlands as a small to medium shrub. In wet sclerophyll forests that are associated with rainforests, it can occur as a small tree (up to 6m). On the east coast of Tasmania in the Freycinet Peninsula, a more robust form of the typical Monotoca submutica is known to occur.
