Yes, it's a Cabbage White - but always worth a second look. They are quite similar to the males of Appias paulina (Yellow Albatross) - a native species that we also get in this area. Appias paulina is, however, quite a bit bigger.
The two dark spots on the upper forewing (at least in the first photo) suggest that this one's a female.
