Bellis had been rowing for a few years before the 2012 Summer Paralympics.[2][3] In 2011, he was reclassified,[3] and made his international debut.[2] He participated in the 2012 Rowing Australia National Selection Trials.[3] He competed at the 2012 International Adaptive Regatta in Gavirate, Italy with Ross on the first day of competition and went on to win a silver medal with Ross in the trunk-and-arms mixed double sculls event.[2][10] Following this event, he became Ross' regular rowing partner for purposes of Paralympic qualification, because he was slightly faster than the other contender, John Maclean.[4] While at the Regatta, he also finished in third in the individual men's event.[2] He and Ross came in first at the 2012 World Rowing Cup 3, in Munich, Germany. At the event, they competed in a Filippi row boat, which was not their normal boat.[2][7][8][11] He and Ross finished first in the 2012 Italian National Championships.[2] At the June 2012 World Cup in Monaco of Bavaria, he and Ross finished first with a time of 4'10 "34 in the Double Adaptive TAMix event.[12] At the 2012 Summer Paralympics he teamed with Ross in rowing trunk-and-arms mixed double sculls[2][8][13][14] but they did not medal.[15]

At the 2013 World Championships in Chungju, South Korea, he partnered with Kathryn Ross to win the gold medal in the Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x.[16] They were coached by Gordon Marcks.[16] With Ross, Bellis won back to back gold medals by winning the Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x at the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[17] This victory was ranked #39 in the International Paralympic Committee's list of moments of 2014.[18] Bellis and Ross finished second in the B Final at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.[19]

Bellis and Ross won their third consecutive Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x title at the 2015 World Championships in Aiguebelette, France.[20] Bellis and Ross finished second in the Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x B Final at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.[21]
