He admitted that when he started acting, he did not want to appear in Neighbours, as his mother had played Stephanie Scully in the show for 11 years and he did not want "a free ride" because of that.[1] In August 2018, Bonner appeared in an episode of True Story with Hamish & Andy playing the lead role of Stephen in "Stephen's Meet The Parents Story".[2]

In March 2021, Bonner joined the cast of Home and Away as Dr. Logan Bennett.[3] He made his debut in August 2021.[4] On 8 January 2022, it was announced that Bonner had left the serial and would not return to set when filming resumes, as he had not received a COVID-19 vaccine; Seven Network requires all staff working on their productions to be vaccinated.[5] Bonner's last scenes as Logan aired on 6 June 2022.[6] Bonner wrote, co-directed and starred in the short film Rise & Fall, which was co-produced by fellow Neighbours actor Taylor Glockner.[7] [8]
