Is this the same qualification as CPC30220?

Effectively yes. The register flags CPC30326 as equivalent to CPC30220, and the packaging is identical - twenty-seven core and seven electives. The code changed in the September 2026 release.

I am part way through CPC30220. Do I start again?

No. A superseded qualification keeps a finite currency. Your RTO has twelve months from 22 September 2026 to complete, transfer or withdraw enrolled learners, and equivalence means credit transfers across rather than being reassessed.

Does it include the white card?

CPCCWHS2001, Apply WHS requirements, policies and procedures in the construction industry, is a core unit. The general construction induction card is issued by the state regulator on the strength of it, not by the qualification.

Does it cover working at heights?

CPCCCM2012, Work safely at heights, is core. High risk work licensing is separate and is issued by the state regulator.
