The Krongold Centre was founded in 1976 by the generosity of Dinah and Henry Krongold and has a proud history of providing Educational and Developmental Psychological services across the lifespan to children, adolescents, adults, and families in the community. The Centre is based in the Faculty of Education at Monash University's Clayton campus. The Director of the Centre is Professor Dennis Moore and the Deputy Director is Dr John Roodenburg.
Staff in the Krongold Centre teach into the Faculty's postgraduate programs in psychology, counselling, and inclusive education. The Centre promotes research, clinical training, evidence-based practice and teaching in all of its programs.
Clinical and consultancy services are delivered by qualified, experienced professionals with the assistance of provisionally registered psychologists completing their specialist training, through various services within the Centre's clinic. These practices are informed by the research and teaching expertise of researchers (including potential supervisors) within the Centre.
