I don't think so, at least not any more than say Americans or the British.
We have a few sayings that have swearing in them which might make it sound like we swear a lot if someone happened to catch that conversation. But to me it seems like we swear in a more good-natured way, not like we are insulting people or being rude. We tend to say things like fu(k off and get fu(ked as punctuation eg "Fu(k off it's windy today!" It's funnier when we do it too eg.
shlt on a stick (worst meal EVER)
he's shlts me (he's annoying)
it gives me the shlts (makes me angry)

Australians curse no more than others, but it just sounds better when they do it. Try cursing with an Australian accent versus an American. Which sounds dirtier or more offensive?
