"If you have had any criminal convictions in any country, you may wish to consider applying for a Tourist visa (subclass 676), rather than an eVisitor. If arriving on an eVisitor with criminal convictions, you could be refused entry into Australia".

The Tourist Visa (subclass 676) page states "You must meet certain character requirements":

The First Working Holiday Visa page states "To be granted this visa you must meet character requirements":

I doubt this will stop you from entering a country. I know the ins and out of the American system far better than the Australian.
If it was a conviction associated with violence or drugs then the authorities would be much more concerned.
I am surprised you were even charged with this offence. People normally get penalty notices for disorder for this.
