Hi,
I am receiving rental income in Singapore and currently a tax resident in Australia. Singapore is taxing me 24% as a non-tax resident for this rental income.
I know I have to disclose foreign rental income when submitting to ATO. How much % will ATO be taxing on this foreign rental income, given Australia and Singapore has DTA?
Depends on your other taxable income. Foreign income is added to other income (employment, business, investment) deductions are made and you pay tax at normal tax rates. As below
Tax rates – Australian resident | Australian Taxation Office
For tax paid overseas you can claim a foreign income tax offset. See below

You may be able to get tax relief from Singapore
"Under some tax treaties, if a person or entity is considered an Australian resident for income tax purposes they may be entitled to a reduction in, or exemption from, withholding tax on certain classes of their foreign source income. "
