    What is Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)?

    Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a pattern of angry, argumentative or defiant behaviour that goes beyond typical childhood pushback. ODD often appears alongside other conditions like ADHD, autism or trauma. While ODD on its own is not usually NDIS-funded, support may be available where it is associated with an eligible condition.

    Common challenges people may experience

    • Frequent arguments with adults and authority
    • Anger, frustration and meltdowns
    • Difficulty at school and with peers
    • Family stress and burnout
    • Risk of escalation without early support

    How the NDIS may support people with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

    Where oppositional defiant disorder causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
