A secure dispensing apparatus comprising a housing 10; an axial compression dispensing device 1, eg an aerosol, and a plate and stem member 30, positioned within the housing, and a key disc 39. The device is activated by prongs 38, of different height on the key disc, passing through holes 36 in a lower end wall 11 of the housing and engaging with and displacing corresponding posts 35 which causes the plate and stem member 30 to be displaced to axially compress dispensing device 1 and dispense material through a nozzle 16 in a cap 13. If only one peg 35 is engaged and displaced the lower plate 34, of the plate and stem member 30, will be tilted causing the stem 33, of the plate and stem member 30, to fracture and the device be rendered inoperable. The apparatus may be used in conjunction with an actuation mechanism (figures 2 - 9), and the prongs may have differing cross-sections.
