I have received a family report for my family law matter where the mother has lied and consequently swayed the report writers recomendations. 8 days later I have submitted a report with attached evidence to the mothers lawyers and the report writer as evidence of the lies. The mothers lawyers advised the report writer to not read and disregard the evidence as I have not followed the required family law rules under section 15.5.6. Can the lawyer for the mother advise the report writer to disregard? Doesn't the lawyer and the report writer have a duty to receive the information? Should I file an application to provide this information? I understand I could call for a conference with the report writer within 21 days but the evidence is damning.

Ask for the conference, and cross-examine at the hearing.
It may well be the writer changes their report anyway.

I have asked the report writer for a conference by email on 2 seperate occasions. It is now almost day 21 since the report was received and the report writer has ignored my requests for a conference and made no comment on the further information with evidence of lies I have provided.
What should I do if I am ignored in this way?
Also the report file is labelled "draft". Is it still in draft form and if so how long does it remain in draft form?

I'm not sure the writer is obliged to agree to a conference... There is a rule that allows you 21 days post report issue to seek clarity FAMILY LAW RULES 2004 - RULE 15.65 Questions to single expert witness
Other than that you can cross examine at trial
