USA dad here. My five year-old daughter hasn't adopted the accent but many of the terms have become staples of her vernacular. Not ashamed to say some of Bandit's have become part of mine. Things like dunny or boot, which aren't American terms usually. Show is a true gem.
Bush wee is quite popular in our house… rather, out of our house. Helps we a boy. We’ve also stumbled upon other families playing octopus at the playground, Bluey is quite popular, also judging by the sheer amount of merch at many stores.
5yo, no accent, but he does say dunny now on occasion.
Between Anne Reardon, Oliver (Drain Addict) and bluey I fear I might pick up some myself soon.

My niece absolutely did have an Australian accent at one point (for some words at least). Bluey is super popular around here and it does make some impact on vocabulary too
Duck cake is the best swear
The “Tactical Wee” has become an integral part of our daily lives.
No accent, but phrases have become part of our lexicon.
I’ve been trying to perfect my Aussie “no.” “Naheuough.”
Or rather, I was trying until my wife correcting it every single time by saying what sure sounded like exactly what I had said drove me insane enough to stop trying.
Otherwise I have seriously improved my Aussie accent. It’s nowhere near perfect (one of the hardest accents to do in English, IMO), but it’s better than it was before Bluey.
