Aussie for the older generations, Ozzie for the younger (Oi, Oi, Oi).

Different pronunciation rules to some other English speakers, eg:
nickname for "Rosalind" is often shortened to sound "Rozy";
Australian shortened as Aussie and spoken "Ozzie".

Oz however is in Kansas.

Either I never thought it mattered myself. They can not read anyway so don't worry.
