Beattie is an F46 classified long jumper,[3] 100 metre and 200 metre runner.[10] She had participated in the javelin event but an early injury deterred her from making it a regular part of her competition schedule.[7] As of 2011, she is coached by Brett Jones.[6] She took up athletics at the encouragement of a teacher[9] in 2007.[3] She has held a world record of 5.89 metres in her classification in the long jump, a record she set in April 2011. She broke her March 2011 world record set at the March 2011 Sydney Grand Prix.[3][6][10] In February 2013, she again broke her own long jump world record with a leap of 5.93 metres.[12] She bettered this mark at her next meet, the 2013 Sydney Track Classic at Sydney Olympic Park in early March, eclipsing the 6 metre mark to set a new world record of 6.01 metres.[13]

Beattie first represented Australia in 2008.[3] She represented Australia at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in the long jump, 100 metre and 200 metre event, making the finals in none of her events.[3][4][6][10] She competed in the 2010 Australian national titles, where she won the long jump event with a distance of 5.71 metres.[7] She competed in the Australian national titles in April 2011, competing in both her classification and the able bodied athlete event. In the able bodied event, she finished eighth.[3] She competed in the 2011 IPC World Athletics Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand finishing second in the long jump and third in the 100 metre event.[6][10] She was selected to represent Australia at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in athletics.[3][5][14][15][16] In November 2011, she was debating using a prosthetic arm while competing at the London Paralympics.[6] The limb would have cost A$5,000.[6] She won the silver medal in the Women's Long Jump - F46 at the 2012 Games.[1] She made the finals of the T46 100 meters, but was unable to run the final due to an adductor tear in her groin.[17]

At the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon, France, she won a silver medal in the Women's Long Jump F46.[18]

Beattie won her first gold medal in a major international competition by winning the Women's Long Jump T47 at the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in Doha with a jump of 5.75m. Beattie commented on winning gold "I’ve always been the bridesmaid and to have this before Rio is such a massive confidence boost. It will give me the drive to keep going, to want it even more and to make sure that I can do the same thing again at the Paralympic Games.” [19]

At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, she won the bronze medal in the Women's Long Jump T45/46/47 with a jump of 5.57m, which as 5 cm behind the winner Anna Grimaldi.[20]
