Trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Montevideo, Australia levelled the play-off on aggregate through Marco Bresciano's first-half strike in a fiery match dominated by the hosts.
After a wait of 32 years since their only appearance at football's biggest tournament, Australia will be in Germany after holding on in front of 82,698 fans and taking the game to penalties.
Among the crowd was Hollywood actor John Travolta, who celebrated with the Socceroos in the changing room after the dramatic finale.
"Not only have we made the nation proud, we had John Travolta in the changing room," Blackburn full-back Lucas Neill added. "It's an amazing night and that capped it off."
