As a foreign tax resident, I earned bank interest from which withholding tax has been held. I also have carried over non-primary production losses. Am I able to apply these losses against the tax withheld? If so, how do I do that on my tax return which directs me not to include interest on which tax has been withheld meaning that my taxable income shows as nil and hence there is nothing to apply the carried over losses against? Similarly, can I offset those losses against franked dividends? If the answers to both these questions are “no”, is the thing that unless I become in the future an Aussie tax resident again, the non-primary production losses are lost to me?

Hi @Berts97,
Amazing, thanks for the extra info! 😀
We've answered a similar question in a prior post about carry forward losses and offsetting income.
Come back if you have more questions.

Hi @Berts97,
Are you in Australia at the moment? Or are you a foreign resident as well as foreign tax resident?
In the meantime, check out what your tax residency means for you and your reporting requirements.
