Fife, 20, has joined the leading Super2 Series team for the 2021 championship, making the move from Brad Jones Racing after two seasons in the second and third-tiered tours.
He finished 10th overall in last year's shortened campaign, the highlight of which was qualifying fifth at Bathurst on the final day.
The switch to Matt White Motorsport gives Fife a major boost to his championship bid, with the team having won the last two Super2 Series titles through Bryce Fullwood and Thomas Randle.
Fife will contest the season in a Nissan Altima and said he's excited to learn a new approach to racing under his new banner.
"I think it's a big step into my career and hopefully it keeps moving on from there," Fife said.
"I was very honoured to receive this opportunity to drive with such as well-presented team. I can't wait to race with them this year, I'm looking forward to meeting the team and learning a new approach to racing.
"I would love to have a podium, that's my goal for this season and to finish high in the championship as well. I believe with Matt White, they'll give me the car and everything else to achieve it."

It also sees Fife follow in the footsteps of Bathurst 1000 winners Chaz Mostert, Luke Youlden and Jonathan Webb - who all spent time at Matt White Racing while coming through the ranks.
"It shows them racing for Matt White has obviously worked and it gives me good confidence that the team is going to go really well. Hopefully I'll make a good impression and maybe get a co-driver this year or the following one," Fife said.
"My main goal is to make it into the main series. I would love to be in there, I'll work really hard and try to get there."
The Super2 Series will launch with the Mount Panorama 500 at Bathurst next month.
