I commenced flying training back in 2002, completed my PPL theory and then for various reasons didn’t complete my license, commenced training again in late November and I contacted CASA as to the validity of my PPL theory credit, there answer was as follows;
Thanks for your email to CASA.
Your PPLA theory exam remains valid and does satisfy the exam requirements for a PPL-A flight test.
Hope this information is of assistance.
Kind regards

So, after near 12yrs it is still valid. I’ve purchased new books and have started doing practice exams to get myself back up to the level I was at back in 2002.
