Nursing staff administering antineoplastic drugs who require biennial assessment to demonstrate ongoing clinical competency. All new to Waitemata DHB nursing staff who have previously completed eviQ in another health care setting.


The Antineoplastic Drug Administration Course (ADAC) supports health professionals develop the necessary knowledge and clinical skills to administer antineoplastic drugs via different routes and handle related waste safely. ADAC uses eviQ content to develop education courses that are based upon the best and most comprehensive evidence available at the time of development. ADAC was developed by the Cancer Institute NSW and follows a strict governance process.

This course is appropriate for both clinical and non clinical staff who need to develop an understanding of the principles of safe handling and management of cytotoxic wastes but will not be administering antineoplastic/cytotoxic drugs.

Nurses who will be administering antineoplastic medications in any setting should not do this course.
