I have a cordless phone with its own charger base unit, bought about two years ago. The instuction handbook says to use NiCad batteries only, but all the shops locally only seem to sell NiMH of the appropriate size. Can I safely use the NiMH batteries in place of the NiCad ones?

i believe the recharge cycle is different, it will probably shorten the life of the batteries considerably..
nicads if left untended for a long time should be discharged completely, lead acid batteries should be kept at the highest charge possible, i'm not sure where the nimh batteries fall, that is the secret of nimh ..

Yeah, totally safe. It's actually better to have NiMH bateries instead of Nicd batteries. You can charge Ni-mh batteries anytime you want while you can only charge NIcd batteries once their completely drained out. If you recharge Nicd batteries before they're not drained out, they gradually lose power over time. Soon enough, they'll die.
