If I don't complete my FACTA compliance forms with my Australian bank every 2-3 years to (re)confirm that I am an Australian, living in Australia, using my Australian bank account then my bank will withhold certain amounts to cover my supposed obligations to the IRS.

Sure smells a lot like levying tax on non-citizens living in other countries.

Do all Australian banks now require that or is it because you work in some sector, like import/export?
