Welcome to Kingsbridge Australia’s Employment service. As a licensed employment agent working alongside our migration practice, we help employers find the skilled workers they can’t source locally, and help skilled workers find employers who are ready to sponsor them — for the Subclass 482, 494 and 186 visas.
Most agencies handle recruitment or migration, not both. At Kingsbridge, our recruitment consultants and registered migration agents sit in the same team, so a role brief and a visa strategy are worked on together from day one — not handed between two separate businesses that don’t talk to each other.

Employer-Sponsored Visa Pathways
Whichever side of the desk you’re on, these are the visas our employment and migration teams place candidates through:
- Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa: Lets an approved employer sponsor a skilled worker for up to four years in a nominated occupation. A popular choice for short to medium-term roles.
- Subclass 494 Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (SESR) Visa: A regional employer-sponsored visa aimed at addressing skill shortages in regional areas, with a pathway to permanent residency through the Subclass 191 visa.
- Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa: A permanent residence visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer — ideal for roles you’re confident will be long-term.
How It Works
The same process runs whether you’re hiring or job hunting — only the starting point changes.
Brief & Assess
Employer sends the role and sponsorship intent, or a candidate sends their occupation and experience. We check visa eligibility first.
Match
We search our network of employers and candidates for a genuine fit — skills, occupation code and expectations all lining up.
Sponsor & Nominate
Our migration agents prepare the sponsorship approval, nomination and supporting evidence for the relevant subclass.
Lodge & Support
Visa lodged and tracked through to grant, with ongoing support once the worker is in the role and in Australia.
