Learn English – Would the phrase “No worries!” be understood outside Australia

australian-englishexpressions

In Australia, No worries! is a very common way of saying You’re welcome.

I wonder whether it is used this way in other English-speaking countries.

The phrase’s meaning can be understood easily enough in context, so it should therefore be safe to use, but I’m still curious whether it would sound natural to non-Australians.

In England (and Britain generally, I think) it would be seen as definitely Australian. Not a bad thing, of course, but not 'natural' in your sense.
