The Queenslander comes into S5000 fresh off his first full time Supercars season in 2021, with co-driver duties in 2022.
Goddard began his career in open-wheel cars, a race winner in Australian Formula 4 before heading to the Formula Renault Eurocup and British F4.
"It’s great to be back with the team and I’m really looking forward to racing in S5000," said Goddard, who tested with Team BRM at The Bend Motorsport Park last week.
“I really enjoyed driving the car and getting up to speed with it at the test – It’s exciting to drive and you can see why so many people enjoy them."
"This is a great chance to compete against a very competitive field and at two of the best circuits around."
"Phillip Island in these cars will be incredible and the Grand Prix is such a great event, I can’t wait to race there in S5000."
Phillip Island hosts the second round of the 2022 Australian Drivers' Championship on March 18-20 as part of the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships, to air on Stan Sport.
The field then moves to Albert Park for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on April 7-10, to air on Network 10, Fox Sports, and Kayo.
"We’re excited to have Zane jump into our second Form 700 / ALABAR entry for Phillip Island and the Grand Prix," said Mark Rundle, Team BRM Team Manager.
"We’ve known Zane since 2015 when he joined our first year in Formula 4 and we’ve always known how quick he is."
"It’s been great to see how he’s evolved as a driver thanks to his time in Europe and more recently in Supercars since he last raced for us."
"As you would expect he adapted quickly to the car and was right on the pace in our test last week so there’s no doubt in our minds that he will be right on the pace when we get to Phillip Island and the Grand Prix – he will be a contender for sure."
