I have the following in an html file to display today's Date.
<p id="todays-date">
<script>
var currentDate = new Date();
var day = currentDate.getDay();
var month = currentDate.getMonth();
var year = currentDate.getFullYear();
var fullDate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
document.write(fullDate);
</script>
</p>As for today being the 23rd of September 2021 23/9/2021 in Australia the result I am getting is 4/8/2021.
Any help would be appreciated.

getDay returns the current weekday and getMonth returns the current month, starting from 0
I would recommend you to take a look at the Date API docs
var currentDate = new Date();
var day = currentDate.getDate(); // Returns the day of the month (1–31) for the specified date according to local time.
var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1; // Returns the month (0–11) in the specified date according to local time.
var year = currentDate.getFullYear();
var fullDate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
document.write(fullDate);getDay gives you the day of the week, not the date. use getDate instead.getMonth is zero-based. (january is 0, not 1). Add 1 to get the conventional one-based month.Replace getDay with getDate, getDay returns the day of the week 0 represent Sunday and 6 represent Saturday. So 4 here in your question represent thursday
var currentDate = new Date();
var day = currentDate.getDate();
var month = currentDate.getMonth();
var year = currentDate.getFullYear();
var fullDate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
document.write(fullDate);
