In 2009, she was cast as Indigo “Indi” Walker in the Australian soap opera Home and Away. She initially appeared for five weeks in a recurring capacity.

In July 2013, Weaving confirmed that she had filmed her last scenes for Home and Away. She felt that with the show’s international success, it was the right time to pursue new roles. That same year, she appeared in the crime film Mystery Road, along with her uncle Hugo Weaving. Weaving had a recurring role as Heather in the first season of Ash vs Evil Dead in 2015. She also made a guest appearance in the online series Squirrel Boys.
Weaving started modeling for Australian underwear brand Bonds from 2012. During the company’s first 2014 campaign, she appeared opposite surfer Owen Wright.
In 2016, she appeared in the action comedy Monster Trucks as Brianne where she was cast in the role during her first trip to Los Angeles in 2014. The following year, she starred opposite actor Steven Yeun in the action comedy-thriller Mayhem, and as the title character in the comedy-horror film The Babysitter, which was released in October.

Since November 2017, she has played the role of Nelson Rose in the Showtime series SMILF, alongside series creator Frankie Shaw. In December 2018, it was announced that Weaving will leave the show after the second season. Weaving asked to be released from her contract, after making a complaint about having to perform a nude sex scene. Daniel Holloway of Variety reported that Weaving felt uncomfortable by Shaw’s behavior during a similar scene in season one, leading to an investigation of alleged misconduct by Shaw. The investigation found that there was no wrongdoing on Shaw’s part.
