In the segment titled Family, directed by Shaun Gladwell, Wyatt played Frank Leaper, a footballer "who walks away at a critical time in his career."

Wyatt appeared in the second season of Redfern Now as a father whose infant baby is missing. He was initially cast in the first season of the series but then had to cancel due to a scheduling conflict. Wyatt received awards for Most Outstanding Newcomer and Best Lead Actor in a Television Drama at the 3rd AACTA Awards for his appearance in Redfern Now. Along Nicole Kidman and Joseph Fiennes, Wyatt appeared in the cast of Strangerland's feature film Strangerland.

Wyatt's role as Nate Kinski appeared in the cast of long-running soap opera Neighbours on July 20, 2014. Wyatt is the first Indigenous actor to appear in the main cast since the program began in 1985. According to executive producer Jason Herbison, casting an Indigenous actor was "unintentional" and that Wyatt had been the right actor for the role. Wyatt relocated to Melbourne for filming and made his screen debut as Nate on August 18, 2014. Wyatt first appeared in the six-part sketch comedy series Black Comedy in November 2014.

Wyatt took a break from Neighbours to appear in King Lear's Sydney Theatre Company production from November 2015 to January 2016. Wyatt's father died from throat cancer in October, causing him to miss the first two weeks of rehearsals. Edmund's role was briefly considered by director Neil Armfield because he was worried that Wyatt would find it difficult to play a man who plans to murder his father. However, Wyatt found the play "a good distraction." Wyatt appeared in the film What If It Works?

Wyatt left Neighbours in early 2016, and his character's last scenes were broadcast in June of this year. Wyatt appeared in The Leftovers, an American film that was shot in Australia, in 2017.
