Johns manville 3.5 Unfaced Fiber Glass Batt Insulation I am a total newbie in regards to most things life related.. so not sure if i can use this stuff for anything/everything e.g bass traps,cloud, wall absorbers..? Also if it is suitable will it be ok health wise to be sleeping in the same room this?
any info would be great. I have also included a picture of the stuff i can get on the cheap thanks to the australian government

As long as the material isn't "disturbed" often, you'll be fine with a fabric cover. You can additionally cover with thin plastic (< 2 mil) if you don't mind losing a tiny bit of absorption at high frequencies. Mids and lows will be unaffected.
Layer and/or compress the batts as needed to achieve the needed density & thickness.
I can't tell if this is the formaldahyde-free stuff or not-- best to keep the room ventilated when not in use, just to allow the material to breathe. If the "smell" is gone, it's pretty safe.
