(b) the holder has sufficient recent experience to undertake the flight safely.
Note: Guidance on recent experience is contained in CAAP 5.13-1 “Private IFR rating”.

(5) A pilot who, within the period of 2 years immediately before the day of the proposed flight, has: (a) passed a flight test conducted for the purpose of: (i) the issue of an aeroplane pilot licence; or (ii) the issue, or renewal, of an aeroplane pilot rating; or (b) satisfactorily completed an aeroplane proficiency check; or (c) satisfactorily completed aeroplane conversion training given by the holder of a grade of flight instructor (aeroplane) rating that authorises him or her to conduct aeroplane flight reviews; is taken to have satisfactorily completed an aeroplane flight review.
SE is the same procedure, just without the engine failures.
Ps. Or you could just read CAO 40.2.3 Para 6.2 (ii) as qouted.

Maybe the question should have been phrased: does an MECIR renewal also renew the PIFR(SE)? That's it, just what the rules say is what I was having difficulty finding.
I don't think you have to ever 'renew' the PIFR. It's just an AFR with a qualified person
At last review I was required to do two AFR's, one for VFR and another for PIFR, including my FPA's.
